Endpoint with java, where is the session?

Question

This is my code on main:

Endpoint.publish("http://0.0.0.0:8080/ws/WebServices", new WebServicesImpl());

And this is my WebServicesImpl:

@WebService(endpointInterface = "ws.WebServices")
public class WebServicesImpl implements WebServices {

    @Override
    public void recibirTramaPosicionWS(AnObject anobject) {
        AThread ttp  = AThread(anobject);
            ttp.start();
    }
}

The web service works without problems, I can access to it and all fine, but I have a big question: can I get the session of my clients, or requests, or something to use in the WebServicesImpl?? I need to implement security in this web service.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

see an example here: How to get session object while working on webservices?

normally this is depending on the container you use, but the @Resource Annotation gives you some default objects like the WebserviceContext

Answer 2

First of all, in regular life we don't publish web services like this approach. Its typically done by different api like apache-cxf, axis etc. You can also use different frameworks to expose web services like spring.

Coming to your problem, this is just a program which is listening on a port for http calls. It should only be used for testing purpose. The "Endpoint" class is a class which ships with jdk bundle. You cannot get session management with this approach. If you want session management, i would suggest to go for real application server and deploy your application on that.
