Atmosphere can't get session on Glassfish 3.1.

Question

I got the chat example working from Atmosphere, and now I want to get the session, but I get a null pointer exception. My configuration:

• GlassFish 3.1.2
• Atmosphere 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

My ChatAtmosphereHandler.java file:

@Override
public void onRequest(AtmosphereResource r) throws IOException {

    AtmosphereRequest req = r.getRequest();

    // First, tell Atmosphere to allow bi-directional communication by suspending.
    if (req.getMethod().equalsIgnoreCase("GET")) {

    /* ------- ADDED LINES BY ME ------- */
        double i = Math.random();
        System.out.println(i);
        req.getSession(true).setAttribute("user", i); //Null pointer exception
    /* --------------------------------- */
        // The negotiation header is just needed by the sample to list all the supported transport.
        if (req.getHeader("negotiating") == null) {
            r.suspend();
        } else {
            r.getResponse().getWriter().write("OK");
        }
    // Second, broadcast message to all connected users.
    } else if (req.getMethod().equalsIgnoreCase("POST")) {
        r.getBroadcaster().broadcast(req.getReader().readLine().trim());
    }
}

And the exception stack trace:

The session handling code has been modified since then. Please try again with the latest master code.
