Using session variables in Flex 2

Question

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this
topic...but the Flex 2 upgrade/migration forum didn't seem too
lively. So let me set up my situation and then pose the question.
In Flex 1.5, I accessed the session servlet using:
<mx:RemoteObject source="servlet" id="servlet"/>
This allowed me to store session variables such as a user
object:
var u:User = new User();
servlet.session("set", "user", u);
This allowed me to access these variables from another Flex
app:
var user:User;
servlet.session("get", "user");
How would I go about doing this in Flex 2.0? Thanks to those
who can help.

Answer 1

That almost works. I had to adjust the syntax to the following...and then there are other issues doing this.
select cust_no, name,'@{session.currentUser}' from customersMy write-back SQL is this:
UPDATE customers SET NAME='@{c1}',LAST_EDITED_BY='@{c2}' WHERE CUST_NO=@{c0}But I don't want to display the cust_no column to the user. So I hide it in the UI. But if I do that I get the below error during write-back. Apparently sometimes when you hide a column on a direct query (numeric maybe?) the value doesn't transfer over to the write-back. If that's the case, this won't work for me. Hmm...
