Adding parameter or reading from HttpSession

[jscoobyced]

Hi,

Here is what I am trying to achieve:

- I have created a custom AuthenticationProcessingFilter that performs the login and adds up some logic to define an external UserId (currently hard-coded but I will have no problem getting it from the DB)
- I want to use this UserId in the report as a $P{UserId} (it has to be a parameter because it's going to be used in the SQL query as well)

I thought that eventually I could push the UserId in the HttpSession and then from iReport I could access the session from a constant parameter (like a HTTP_SESSION parameter). However it doesn't look like I can get this.
Could I 'inject' a new parameter using a scriplet? Where is the scriplet API?

EDIT: it seems that using $P{REPORT_SCRIPLET}.getUserId() I should be able to get what I want. Now I just need to see if I can access the session from the scriplet.

Thanks,
JSC
