MVS 2012 SQL Server 2008 R2
I have an object that is being store in a session using a session wrapper. During login, I initialize the object and set the session appropriately. After authenticating the user, I redirect the user to the user index page. The user is redirected to the index page, but the session variable is not null. I am not sure why that is happening. Here is a sample code of what I am doing.
Here is my web config setting. If I comment out this web config section and run the application again, it worked fine.
<sessionState mode="SQLServer" allowCustomSqlDatabase="true" timeout="60" cookieless="false" sqlConnectionString="Data Source=(****);Initial Catalog=data1;User ID=****;Password=****;Integrated Security=True" />
This is the object that is wrapped in the session
public class CurrentRequest
{
public int UserId { get; set; }
public string Role { get; set; }
}
here is the session wrapper
public static CurrentRequest currentRequest
{
get
{
if (HttpContext.Current.Session["request"] != null)
{
return (CurrentRequest)HttpContext.Current.Session["request"];
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
set
{
HttpContext.Current.Session["request"] = value;
}
}
Here I am checking the role and redirect the user to the appropriate page
CurrentRequest currentRequest = new CurrentRequest();
SessionWrapper.currentRequest = currentRequest;
int userId = login.GetUserId(model.UserName, true);
SessionWrapper.currentRequest.UserName = model.UserName;
string[] roles = Roles.GetRolesForUser(model.UserName);
if (roles.Count() > 0)
{
string aRole = roles[0];
switch (aRole)
{
case "Admin":
SessionWrapper.currentRequest.Role = aRole;
SessionWrapper.currentRequest.UserId = userId;
.
.
the sessions variables above are set properly and I am redirecting the user to the Users' Index page
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Users");
case "User":
On the Users Controller, I am checking to see if this user is an admin or not, but the session variable SessionWrapper.currentRequest is null
if (SessionWrapper.currentRequest.Role == "Admin")
{
users = db.UserRepository.GetAll();
}
What I am doing wrong here?
I found the issue. I did not have Session_Start and a Session_End methods in my global.asax file. I added these two methods signature, and it was no longer an issue.
protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
