I suppose this might not be possible but just in case...
We have a frontend Java application that communicates with a (ours as well) backend application through Hessian. For logging and auditing purposes we need to pass the user_id of the User that is logged in (in the frontend) to the backend. An obvious solution would of course be to add a String parameter to all method calls but that's a lot of work and not very clean.
Would there be a way to intercept the call, decorate it with the user_id (retrieve from the Session) and on the backend to get that user_id (and then set it on ThreadLocal or such)?
It was possible:
public class CustomHessionProxyFactoryBean extends HessianProxyFactoryBean {
public CustomHessionProxyFactoryBean() {
setProxyFactory(new CustomHessianProxyFactory());
}
private static class CustomHessianProxyFactory extends HessianProxyFactory {
@Override
public Object create(Class<?> api, URL url, ClassLoader loader) {
return Proxy.newProxyInstance(loader, new Class[] { api, HessianRemoteObject.class }, new CustomHessianProxy(url, this, api));
}
private static class CustomHessianProxy extends HessianProxy {
protected CustomHessianProxy(URL url, HessianProxyFactory factory) {
super(url, factory);
}
public CustomHessianProxy(URL url, HessianProxyFactory factory, Class<?> type) {
super(url, factory, type);
}
@Override
protected void addRequestHeaders(HessianConnection conn) {
super.addRequestHeaders(conn);
if(StringUtils.isNotBlank(SsoIdUtil.getThreadSsoId())){
conn.addHeader("some_key", "some_value_from_threadlocal");
}
}
}
}
}
