I've also been told that getting the session is possible under certain circumstances using

[code]
HttpSession s = null;
try {
   HttpServletRequest r = (HttpServletRequest) PolicyContext.getContext("javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest");
   if (r != null) {
      s = r.getSession(false);
   }
} catch (PolicyContextException ex) {
      LOG.log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
[/code]

but my tests never return a session that is non-null. I'm using HTTP Basic authentication.

Can anyone comment on their experience acquiring the session in this mannger, via PolicyContext?

Thanks.
