create a datasource from a stream using JMF

Two things you need before you can do this. First, you need to take the stream and convert it to a byte buffer (easy enough). Secondly, you need to know the content type of the stream

import javax.media.protocol.ContentDescriptor;
import javax.media.protocol.PullDataSource;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.media.MediaLocator;
import javax.media.Duration;
import javax.media.Time;


/**

* @author Chad McMillan
*/

public class ByteBufferDataSource extends PullDataSource {

protected ContentDescriptor contentType;
protected SeekableStream[] sources;
protected boolean connected;
protected ByteBuffer anInput;

protected ByteBufferDataSource(){
}

/**
* Construct a ByteBufferDataSource from a ByteBuffer.
* @param source The ByteBuffer that is used to create the
* the DataSource.
*/
public ByteBufferDataSource(ByteBuffer input, String contentType) throws IOException {
anInput = input;
this.contentType = new ContentDescriptor(contentType);
connected = false;
}

/**
* Open a connection to the source described by
* the ByteBuffer/CODE>.
*


*
* The connect method initiates communication with the source.
*
* @exception IOException Thrown if there are IO problems
* when connect is called.
*/
public void connect() throws java.io.IOException {
connected = true;
sources = new SeekableStream [1];
sources[0] = new SeekableStream(anInput);
}

/**
* Close the connection to the source described by the locator.
*


* The disconnect method frees resources used to maintain a
* connection to the source.
* If no resources are in use, disconnect is ignored.
* If stop hasn't already been called,
* calling disconnect implies a stop.
*
*/
public void disconnect() {
if(connected) {
sources[0].close();
connected = false;
}
}

/**

* that the source is providing.
*


* It is an error to call getContentType if the source is
* not connected.
*
* @return The name that describes the media content.
*/
public String getContentType() {
if( !connected) {
throw new java.lang.Error("Source is unconnected.");
}
return contentType.getContentType();
}

public Object getControl(String str) {
return null;
}

public Object[] getControls() {
return new Object[0];
}

public javax.media.Time getDuration() {
return Duration.DURATION_UNKNOWN;
}

/**
* Get the collection of streams that this source
* manages. The collection of streams is entirely
* content dependent. The MIME type of this
* DataSource provides the only indication of
* what streams can be available on this connection.
*
* @return The collection of streams for this source.
*/
public javax.media.protocol.PullSourceStream[] getStreams() {
if( !connected) {
throw new java.lang.Error("Source is unconnected.");
}
return sources;
}

/**
* Initiate data-transfer. The start method must be
* called before data is available.
*(You must call connect before calling start.)
*
* @exception IOException Thrown if there are IO problems with the source
* when start is called.
*/
public void start() throws IOException {
}

/**
* Stop the data-transfer.
* If the source has not been connected and started,
* stop does nothing.
*/

}

Getting Session Object using Session Id (HttpServlet )

HttpSessionContext is very usefull interface for getting all session objects using with session Id .

HttpSessionContext sc=request.getSession().getSessionContext();
HttpSession session=sc.getSession(session_id);


But In version 2.1 of the Servlet API the HttpSessionContext class was deprecated for security reasons by Sun, with no plans for a replacement. In short, steer clear of HttpSessionContext
