public static WebSession get()

invalidate

public void invalidate()

Call signOut() and remove the logon data from whereever they have been persisted (e.g. Cookies)

See Also:

Session.invalidate()

getClientInfo

public WebClientInfo getClientInfo()

Gets the client info object for this session. This method lazily gets the new agent info object for this session. It uses any cached or set (Session.setClientInfo(ClientInfo)) client info object.

To gather the client information this implementation redirects temporarily to a special page (BrowserInfoPage).

Note: Do not call this method from your custom Session constructor because the temporary page needs a constructed Session to be able to work.

If you need to set a default client info property then better use Session.setClientInfo(org.apache.wicket.core.request.ClientInfo) directly.

Specified by:

getClientInfo in class Session

Returns:

the client info object based on this request

newBrowserInfoPage

protected WebPage newBrowserInfoPage()

Override this method if you want to use a custom page for gathering the client's browser information.
The easiest way is just to extend BrowserInfoPage and provide your own markup file

Returns:

the WebPage which should be used while gathering browser info

generateNewSessionId

protected String generateNewSessionId()

Description copied from class: Session

Change the id of the underlying (Web)Session.

Overrides:

generateNewSessionId in class Session

Returns:

the new session id value.
