AtmosphereResource.session() is null when a play session exists about atmosphere-play HOT 11 CLOSED

Anything new regarding this problem?

Can you point me to the Play Session? I will implements that API

from atmosphere-play.

Would it be possible to parse PLAY_SESSION cookie and identify user? Logic for this is stored at https://github.com/playframework/playframework/blob/master/framework/src/play/src/main/scala/play/api/mvc/Http.scala#L710

Hi, is there any progress on sessions? You could access the session inside of "AtmosphereController".....session() would Provide the Play Session.

@vkoop Contribution welcomed!

I am not sure if accessing pure play session object in atmosphere would be good idea (Its http request scoped AFAIK)

Here are my changes with hook in form of AtmospherePlaySessionConverter in which anyone can translate what they want from play session into AtmopshereRequest.attributes. #19

Its pretty rough, but gives basic idea.

Is there any news on this? Still returns null.

@daut-morina Have you tested the latest version?

@jfarcand Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes, I'm using 2.1.0 on Play 2.3. Is session support enabled by default or do I have to enable it first like I would have to when using the generic atmosphere framework?

Update
On startup I see following log entry:
[info] o.a.c.AtmosphereFramework - HttpSession supported: false
So the session is not enabled, but i couldn't find any documentation about how to enable the session in play since there's no web.xml in play.

In the play chat example in Global.java I do following:

@Override
public void onStart(Application application) {
    instance().framework().getAtmosphereConfig().setSupportSession(true);
    instance().discover(Chat.class).ready();
}

and now the log shows:

[info] o.a.c.AtmosphereFramework - HttpSession supported: true

The result is that following:

@Ready
public void onReady(final AtmosphereResource r) {
    logger.info("Session: " + r.session());
    logger.info("Session from request: " + r.getRequest().getSession());
    logger.info("Cookie from request: " + r.getRequest().getCookies().length);
}

gives you this:

[info] o.a.s.play.Chat - Session: org.atmosphere.cpr.AtmosphereRequest$NoOpsRequest$1@6c7c94c3
[info] o.a.s.play.Chat - Session: org.atmosphere.cpr.AtmosphereRequest$NoOpsRequest$1@6c7c94c3
[info] o.a.s.play.Chat - Session: 0

@daut-morina
pull request I provided above was merged to play-atmoshpere 2+ - it introduces hook in form of AtmospherePlaySessionConverter for play session access from atmosphere parts.

It will not just give you access to full play HTTP session, but rather provides a hook where you can read some values from it and put it as attributes of Atmoshphere request.

(There is no default implementation of AtmospherePlaySessionConverter, you need to prepare any that will work for you and hook it via properties ("org.atmopshere.play.AtmospherePlaySessionConverter" property) - just watch out for problems with them under play development mode ())

I use this hook in my projects to access play-authenticate sessions and it works fine.
