Values stored by EGL in request / session / application should be accessible using Java

Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Programming Languages
Product - Business Developer

For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Rational
Product family - Design & development
Product - Business Developer

This capability is available today for using primitive data types like strings.

Following is are examples of EGL code and java code accessing the same string in session data:

Java Code:

package handlers;
import javax.faces.context.ExternalContext;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;

public class SessionAccess {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

public static ExternalContext getFacesExternalContext()
{
FacesContext cxt = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
return cxt.getExternalContext();
}

public static void putSessionAttribute( String key, String val )
{
getFacesExternalContext().getSessionMap().put( key, val );
}

public static String getSessionAttribute( String key )
{
return ( String ) getFacesExternalContext().getSessionMap().get( key );
}

public static void clearSessionAttribute( String key )
{
getFacesExternalContext().getSessionMap().remove( key );
}
}

EGL Code:

package handlers;
handler sessionAccessExamplePage type JSFHandler {
onConstructionFunction = onConstruction,
onPrerenderFunction = onPrerender,
view = "SessionPage.jsp"
}

inputData string { displayUse=input, displayName = "Input data:" } ;
outputData string { displayUse=output, displayName = "Output data:" } ;
showAccessButton string { displayUse = button, displayName = "Process Input", action="showAccess"};

// Function Declarations
function onConstruction()
end

function onPrerender()
end

function showAccess()
ServletData.putSessionAttribute( "testKey", inputData );
outputData = j2eeLib.getSessionAttr ( "testKey" ) ;
end
end

ExternalType ServletData type JavaObject {
javaName = "SessionAccess",
packageName = "handlers"
}
static function getSessionAttribute ( key String in ) returns ( string );
static function putSessionAttribute ( key String in, val String in );
static function clearSessionAttribute( key String in );
end

This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.

This request seems to be a duplicate of RATLC01176077.
