Session

[thatismatt]

Does unfiltered have any support for session? I know it isn't very "pure", but I want a convienient way of doing flash messages, I'm open to other "purer" suggestions if there are better ways of achieving what I want.

If using some form of session storage is the right way to go is the underlying HttpServlet's HttpSession exposed at all?

Thanks,
Matt

If you need user state, you need user state. :)

Sessions are not enabled by default in the jetty Server builder, if you
are using that:
https://github.com/n8han/Unfiltered/blob/master/jetty/src/main/scala/servers.scala#L57

But once they are enabled, yes they're exposed. You have the full java
HttpServletRequest in unfiltered's HttpRequest#underlying
