Answer 1

You can access the HttpSession by injecting the HttpServletRequest using the @Context annotation and then getting the session from the request like so:

@Context
private HttpServletRequest servletRequest;

@Override
public ServerResponse preProcess(HttpRequest request, ResourceMethod method)
        throws Failure, WebApplicationException 
{       
    HttpSession session = servletRequest.getSession();

    //Do something with the session here...
}
