WebAppSessionManagerImpl

Create a GUID that is a combination of server/project info in order to maintain a keyed list of last message across server/project at client-side. If server name is not provided, it will read from active session.

Changes the locale on all sessions in a cluster with the active one to the setting which is set on the session's preferences. This method will look at those preferences, and if they do not match the locale on the session, change the session locale, if we have enough information to recreate the session.

Changes the active session's password from the old password given to the new password.

Changes the session flags for the session. This method will check the user session's prefrerences for the session and all sessions in the same cluster of servers, and if the current session flags are not the same as the session flags in the preferences, the session flags will be changed, if there exists enough information to recreate the session.

Creates a Login First session

Returns the available authentication modes that may be used with this session. A project name or ID (along with the residing server) should be specified prior to making this call if the intented login is to a project since authentication modes may be project specific.

Returns the available web login modes that may be used with this session. A project name or ID (along with the residing server) should be specified prior to making this call if the intented login is to a project since web login modes may be project specific.

Get cached message key that matches the last message id

Get the last message ID from cookie for provided message key

Returns the existing Login First session (already created or restored). If there is no login first session yet, it will create one and return it.

Returns an ArrayList of ProjectInformation objects, which contain information about the projects we are connected to.

Returns an ArrayList of ProjectInformation objects, which contain information about the projects we are connected to. This method is the same as getProjectList(false).

Attempts to retrieve a printable user name for either the active session, or, if loginFirst is true, the credentials set on the Session Manager will be used to obtain the user name.

Returns whether this instance of the session manager contains credentials internally. This will be true if setCredentials has been called since the creation or deserialization of this SessionManager object, or if loginFirst is true and the credentials have ever been set.

This method will examine the request, and attempt to either set the active session properly, or create a brand new session that will become the active session, if the request asks for a session on a server without a session and project already created on it.

This method will examine the request, and attempt to either set the active session properly, or create a brand new session that will become the active session, if the request asks for a session on a server without a session and project already created on it. Note that this method will, if a key or server/project/port is not found in the request, check with the ServletWebComponent to see what the current server/project/port is. This will return null if no server is specified, or the server is not connected (or cannot be auto-connected).

Returns whether the active session's user is an administrative user or not. This is checked via checking privileges.

Returns whether the user needs to update password or not.

Removes the active session from the list, closing it if the external security manager setup on the application context says to do so.

Removes all sessions from the list, closing them if the external security manager setup on the application context says to do so.

Restores a component from an embedded XML during a SAX parsing.

Saves and stores a component's state into a StringBuffer. The returned state should be HTML friendly.

There are generally two formats of the saved state: flat state and XML representation. The minimum state is saved in flat state format, while the typical and maximum states are saved in XML string representation.

Sets the credentials for the active session. If the login first functionality is enabled, then these credentials will be kept around until overridden and used for every session.

Sets passed session as the existing active session

This method attempts to validate the active session. If the session cannot be validated, then it can also attempt to recover for a specific set of error conditions. If the session cannot be validated or recovered, this method will throw an exception. If an exception is not thrown, then the session is valid.

This method attempts to validate the given session. If the session cannot be validated, then it can also attempt to recover for a specific set of error conditions. If the session cannot be validated or recovered, this method will throw an exception. If an exception is not thrown, then the session is valid.

This method attempts to validate the active session. If the session cannot be validated, then it can also attempt to recover for a specific set of error conditions. If the session cannot be validated or recovered, this method will throw an exception. If an exception is not thrown, then the session is valid. If there is result of previous validateSession call, it will not re-do the validation, install just returns the same validation result. If you need do the validation regardless the previous result, use validateSession(boolean) passing true as parameter.
