Urgent : How to create a new variable in session context

Question

Hi all
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 and am implementing adf security using WLS
I am loging in using loginame. and I am able to retieve the login_name in VO's using adf.context.securityContext.userName
My requirement is I want to set id (number datatype) in sessioncontext as userId.
The id should be taken from the database table according to the login_name and set in sessioncontext.
I want to populate the VO's in my various pages using this userId in session,since our tables are based on Id not login_name
Please help,its an urgent requirement

Hi,
Can u give me the code for getApplicationModuleForDataControl(DataControl dc)?
What is the '*u*' in u.getPageFlowScopeAttribute("userid"));?oh.. refer my following code.
    public static final ADFLogger LOGGER =
        ADFLogger.createADFLogger(Util.class);
    public ApplicationModule getApplicationModuleForDataControl(String dcName) {
        DCDataControl dcControl =
            getDCBindingContainer().findDataControl(dcName);
        if (dcControl == null) {
            logSevere(String.format("getApplicationModuleForDataControl(String dcName) : DCDataControl [%s] not found",
                                    dcName));
            return null;
        return dcControl.getApplicationModule();
    public BindingContainer getBindingContainer() {
        return getBindingContext().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
    public DCBindingContainer getDCBindingContainer() {
        return (DCBindingContainer)getBindingContainer();
public String getUserIdFromLoginName(String loginName){
        ApplicationModule am = getApplicationModuleForDataControl("Users_DataControl");
        ViewObject vo = am.findViewObject("Users_VO1");
                vo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("B_LOGIN_NAME",
                                    loginName);
        vo.executeQuery();
            Row row = vo.first();
            if (row == null) {
                return null;
            } else {
            return row.getAttribute("UserId")==null ? null : row.getAttribute("UserId").toString();
    private static void logSevere(String msg) {
        LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, msg);
public void setUserIdInSessionForLoginLoginName(String loginName){
  String userId=getUserIdFromLoginName(loginName);
  FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put("userid", userId);
}where as accessing the session in adf bc layer is conserned you can use ADFContext, which will help you to access the session(HttpSession) attributes.
import oracle.adf.share.ADFContext;
Object obj = ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope().get("userBean");Regards,
