Method Detail

<static> Session.containsKey(name)

Determine if a certain key exists in the session

<static> Session.exists()

Determine if a session exists. For example, a session would not exist outside of the context of a web server

<static> Session.getAttribute(name)

Retrieve an attribute from the Session, keeping it in the Session, or return null if there is no such value

<static> Session.getAttributeNames()

Retrieve a listing of the available key names in the Session

<static> Session.removeAttribute(key)

Remove an attribute from the Session, and return the value, or null if there is no such value

<static> Session.setAttribute(key, value)

Add an attribute to the Session

Parameters:
{String} key: The name of the attribute to add
{Object} value: The object to store in the session. Note: Non-String session objects will be serialized prior to storage with toJSON(). Therefore, any prototype methods on objects that are saved, or methods that cannot be iterated over must be applied after retrieving the attribute from the session with getAttribute().
