Storing session objects in Jax-Rs Jersey

Question

I am currently writing a web application using jersey-mvc and jersey-mvc-freemarker .

It is working fine , but I need a way to store session data.

On Servlets, I would use the HttpSession object, but I am wondering if there is a more JAX-RS-ish way to do it. Can someone please help?

In Jersey you can add HTTP Request to your context using injection:

@Context
private HttpServletRequest httpRequest;

and then in method get HTTPSession object by:

httpRequest.getSession()
