I want to use the session feature but without athentication.
I already added Plugins.Add(new SessionFeature())
to AppHost.cs
and I have the following code
public class CustomService : Service
{
public CustomResponse Any(CustomRequest pRequest)
{
var CustomSession = base.Session.Get<CustomType>("MySession");//try to get the session
if (CustomSession == null)
{
//create a new session
CustomSession = new CustomType{MyId=1};
base.Session["MySession"] = CustomSession;
//base.Session.Set("MySession", CustomSession); //also tried this, to save the session.
this.SaveSession(CustomSession, new TimeSpan (0,20,0)); //Save the Session
}
}
}
The problem I'm having is that base.Session.Get<CustomType>("MySession")
is always null
.
Am I missing something on the implementation of sessions?
You will need to save your session using base.SaveSession(). See here near the bottom there is a section title 'Saving in Service'.
public class MyAppHost : AppHostBase
{
public MyAppHost() : base("MyService", typeof(CustomService).Assembly)
{
}
public override void Configure(Container container)
{
Plugins.Add(new SessionFeature());
}
}
public class CustomType : AuthUserSession
{
public int MyId { get; set; }
}
[Route("/CustomPath")]
public class CustomRequest
{
}
public class CustomResponse
{
}
public class CustomService : Service
{
public CustomResponse Any(CustomRequest pRequest)
{
var CustomSession = base.SessionAs<CustomType>();
if (CustomSession.MyId == 0)
{
CustomSession.MyId = 1;
this.SaveSession(CustomSession, new TimeSpan(0,20,0));
}
return new CustomResponse();
}
}
Update:
There is a Resharper issue with extension methods, see here, which seems to affect SaveSession().
Work Arounds:
ServiceExtensions.SaveSession(this, CustomSession);
ReSharper may prompt to reformat and it will work.
- Ctrl-Alt-space to reformat
RequestContext.Get<IHttpRequest>().SaveSession(CustomSession)
can save the
session.
