Extract JSESSIONID in REST after login

I'm working on system which will allow users to create workspaces.After workspace creation user may login by providing username, password and workspace. And i need jsessionid generated after login to create connection between workspace and jsessionid.

Login goes thru REST.

    @POST
    @Path("login")
    @Produces(ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON_CHARSET_UTF_8)
    public JsonObject login(LoginCredentials loginCredentials) throws UnAuthorizedException {
        //login logic
    }

I also have interceptor implementing ContainerResponseFilter, WriterInterceptor.

@Override
    public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext, ContainerResponseContext context)throws IOException {
        //...
    }

how can i get generated jsessionid (which i see in response header)?

Solution

  • If you have a http request object you can get hold of the associated session. Once you've got the session you can get its id

    request.getSession(true).getId()

    Passing true to getSession causes a new session to be created if one does not already exist.
