Wicket and HttpSession

[Heiko <lo...@googlemail.com>]

Hi Wicket-Community,

I'm a new wicket user and I want to use a wicket app with the
Central Authentication Service (CAS - http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/).
CAS stores the user's name in a session attribute and an application,
for example a simple servlet, can consume this value via HttpSession:

HttpSession session = req.getSession(false);
String authenticatedUser = (String) session.
            getAttribute("edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.filter.user");

But with wicket I don't have the HttpSession-object.
All my attempts were in vain to get that mentioned value via the
getSessionStore()-method.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Heiko.

Search the list archives, this has been asked before.

Specifically see the recent thread with the topic "WebWork and Wicket in 
the same application - session sharing?
