Cardboard developer, I reread my post and I see the answer, the Thread in getThreadObjectContext makes all the difference. However, I need to gain access to the ObjectContext outside of servlet code. Should I use BaseContext.bindThreadObjectContext(ServletUtil.getSessionContext(session)) within each servlet?

Subject: BaseContext in servlet
I am attempting to set a reference to a pojo containing some user info for use during updates/inserts. On reading the documentation early on, 3.0RC1 or so, I believed I could use setUserProperty and the context would be reused within a given session. However it appears that BaseContext.getThreadObjectContext() does not return the same context ever.
In my web.xml I have:
<filter>
<filter-name>CayenneFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.cayenne.conf.WebApplicationContextFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>CayenneFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>/*</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
I then implemented HttpSessionAttributeListener in my class and used the following code within it:
public void attributeAdded(HttpSessionBindingEvent arg0) {
ObjectContext ctx = null;
try{
ctx = BaseContext.getThreadObjectContext();
}catch(Exception e){}
if(ctx != null){
BaseContext.bindThreadObjectContext(ctx);
ctx.setUserProperty("myData", this);
}
}
The code gets hit and the property is set, but every subsequent call to BaseContext.getThreadObjectContext().getUserProperty("myData") returns null. If I explicitly set the user property with every request, all works fine. Am I missing something?
