I am not sure if this question looks silly. But I am new to servlets. So posting my question here.
I have an application with around 5 servlets trhat needs to call application APIs after acquiring connection to application server(OIM). So I need to use existing connection from other servlets to OIM which was opened by frist servlet in the same war file.
My code is like this.
//Class 1
public class ValidateUserName extends HttpServlet {
//Servlet 1
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
...
...
UserOperations userOperations = new UserOperations();
String CommonName = userOperations.getCommonName(userName);
String userStatus = userOperations.getUserStatus(userName);
...
...
}
...
...
}
//Class 2
public class UserOperations {
public UserOperations() {
String USERNAME = Utils.getProperty("USERNAME");
String PASSWORD = Utils.getProperty("PASSWORD");
String PROVIDER_URL = Utils.getProperty("PROVIDER_URL");
OIMConnect oimConnect = new OIMConnect();
this.oimClient = oimConnect.loginToOIM(USERNAME, PASSWORD, PROVIDER_URL);
}
...
...
}
//Class 3
public class PasswordReset extends HttpServlet {
//Servlet 2
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
/*
* I would like to use same oimConnect connection that was instantiated
* in UserOperations() constructor.
*/
}
...
...
}
I can't use setAttribute as I don't have reference to OIM client on servlets. Connections to OIM server is getting opened in non servlet classes.
How can I use existing OIM connection across all servlets in this scenario?
