IdM Session and java

Question

Hi all,
I use the following java code to create session:
  public static Session createLHSession(String host, String user, String password) throws WavesetException {
        String url = "http://" + host + "/idm/servlet/rpcrouter2";
        EncryptedData passwd = new EncryptedData(password);
        Session ses = SessionFactory.getSession(url, user, passwd);
        return ses;
    }1) Is it the best way to create a session ?
2) If I use this code with the same user and same password, will it create a new session each time or only get the one I created before (didn't find the javadoc of SessionFactory)?
Thanks for your help,
Ben

Hi. What channel/endpoint are you using to connect to the server? If it's RTMP or a streaming or polling channel that uses the NIO server there may not be an easy way to get at the HTTP session.
In general, I don't think it's a good idea to store stuff in the HTTPSession because it may not be available from all channels/endpoints.
If you do need to store stuff in the session though, I'd try using a HTTP (non NIO) streaming or polling channel. I am guessing using those channels' FlexContext.getServletContext() will work to get you the HTTP session.
