Accessing HttpSession in entity Impl.java

Question

Can someone please tell me if it is possible (and if so how) to set a HttpSession variable from within the entity's Impl class ?
Currently I am overriding the doDML method to obtain the sequence number generated during the insert. I then want to use this later, hence need to store it somewhere
Thanks,
Brent

Answer 1

What I was getting at above was something like this:
  protected void initializeBindingsForPage(DataActionContext ctx)
    // TODO:  Override this view.fwkext.BaseDataForwardAction method
    // super.initializeModelForPage(ctx);
    HttpServletRequest request = ctx.getHttpServletRequest();
    String strRemoteUser = request.getRemoteUser();
    System.out.println("remoteUser=" + strRemoteUser );
    setBindingValue("CreatedByUsername"
       , strRemoteUser
       , ctx );
  }In this case, the application was written to use FORM-based authentication, and the user then gets "stuffed" into an audit field exposed on the page's bindings. From there, you'd have it on the backend when the DML was eventually called.
Am I missing something?
