Our project had a requirement that we run our Ruby application in the
same context as our Java application so that we can share
authentication data. We wanted to be able to have our users log in
once and then seamlessly hop between the Rails app and the Java app.
In order to read the java session (and check if they are logged in) we
had to do the following:
request.instance_variable_get("@session_options_with_string_keys")['java_request'].getSession(true).getAttribute('sessionBean')
We discovered this after we read the blog post at:
http://twentyseveneighteen.org/2007/11/27/jrubyonrails-on-ibm-websphere-application-server-using-ibm-db2/.
Ours is slightly different because we were using Tomcat.
Anyway, so what I am curious is:
Does anyone else have this need/problem to share session data? Is
there a less tricky way of doing this?
