Hi,
I am working on a project which is rich client based (Swing) connecting to server side using http protocol. So i am using spring on server side and remoting using HttpInvoker and it is working fine and i feel i dont need EJB right now (great work spring team!). Now i am facing a problem, we want to maintain some state on server side (preferably using web http session) as we donot want to use SFSB ejb's here. I certainly want to pass that state information to my remotely exposed service object, but i donot know how to do that. I am pasting my code here so please can anybody help me?

Code:

So i want something (prefeably in web layer) taht can maintain state on user behalf and pass it to teh same object that is remotely exposed for swing side.
