[Jetty-support] Accessing Session in HashUserRealm

[Steven J. <st...@mj...>]

I am working on converting my logon mechanism to the FormAuthentication
method.  I use a database to store usernames, passwords, and roles.  I have
created a custom realm class that extends the org.mortbay.http.HashUserRealm
class and accesses my database.

My question is ... is there any way to access the current session from this
class.  I would like to put some user/role information into the session upon
successful authentication.  My legacy code stored this information in the
session and I wanted to be able to migrate it over time.

Thanks in advance for the help.
