I'm using spring4gwt in my project.

I have the following login service implementation:

@Service("loginService")
public class LoginServiceImpl extends RemoteServiceServlet implements LoginService {

    @Override
    @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, rollbackFor = Exception.class)
    public UserBean checkUser(String userName, String password) throws Exception {

        HttpSession httpSession = getThreadLocalRequest().getSession();

    }
}

When i call the loginService.checkUser("test","test") (In hosted mode), I get a null pointer exception, as getThreadLocalRequest() returns NULL instead of the actual session.

I didn't try in web mode yet.

Why would I get a null session ? Does it have something to do with spring4gwt ?

Thank you
