[SHIRO-622] Session Management page - Incorrect variable name in example

• Type: Documentation
• Status: Resolved
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Fixed

Docs Text

Like almost everything else in Shiro, you acquire a Session by interacting with the currently executing Subject:

{code}
Subject currentUser = SecurityUtils.getSubject();

Session session = currentUser.getSession();
session.setAttribute( "someKey", someValue);
{code}

The subject.getSession() method is a shortcut for calling currentUser.getSubject(true).

Description

This is the documentation in this section:-

http://shiro.apache.org/session-management.html#using-sessions

Like almost everything else in Shiro, you acquire a Session by interacting with the currently executing Subject:

Subject currentUser = SecurityUtils.getSubject();

Session session = currentUser.getSession();
session.setAttribute( "someKey", someValue);

The subject.getSession() method is a shortcut for calling currentUser.getSubject(true).

The variable subject does not exist in the code example. Did I misunderstand what the documentation was trying to say?
