RMI Session

[David Ting]

hi I have java client and server software, connected by RMI.
in the client program, I need to log in to server and the server need to keep a session for all the user information, such as username, dept etc.

so my question is, is there anything like httpsession but in RMI? since I am not using browser.

how to create a session in RMI to keep all the logged on user information?
some sample code will be greately appreciated. thanks

Hey,

since RMI is not HTTP based and only for invoking a remote method, you could probably send an user id to the server and the server caches some informations about the user or get it from the database.
