I want to pass data in HttpSession from a jsp portlet to a servlet. The servlet called from an Oracle AS page portlet with ajax call.
There are many examples, how to do this, but how to pass HttpSession data?
Because (i think) ajax call different url than portlet context (like $.post( "/app/servlet", data)), it can't find original session, instead it creates a new one when i try to reach with request.getSession().
The portlet and the servlet are in same war application, currently running in JDeveloper, Apache ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse maps to webserver url: http://webserver.local/app, portlet producer registered with connection: http://webserver.local/app/providers/ and I set the login frequency on the provider registration page to "always".
I put the portlet in a random page http://webserver.local/path/to/page and i think that's the reason that portlet on that page generated session not equals with called servlet.
If call jsp portlet on http://webserver.local/app/felvitel.jsp and servlet on http://webserver.local/app/servlet, than i can get same session, so this is why i'm sure its about url problem.
But the portlet have to use inside a page, not just alone, and i don't know how to map servlet url, or change cookie to find same session.
Now i store session id on jsp page in hidden:
<input type="hidden" id="sessionkey" value="<%=session.getId()%>"></input>
...and the javascript create a cookie with name="JSESSIONID", value=$("#sessionkey").val(), path=/app and it's working, the servlet gets same session, but that has to be another way i think.
Can i somehow alter cookie from jsp page? I tried to search in cookies and cookie.setPath("/app");response.addCookie(cookie1); but looks do nothing, and as i read it have to set somewhere else, not working on jsp pages, it has to be set on header creation.
Or any other solution?
