Try this and and it's working well.
You can access session state using a custom RouteHandler.
// In global.asax
public class MvcApp : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
var route = routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
route.RouteHandler = new MyHttpControllerRouteHandler();
}
}
// Create two new classes
public class MyHttpControllerHandler
: HttpControllerHandler, IRequiresSessionState
{
public MyHttpControllerHandler(RouteData routeData) : base(routeData)
{ }
}
public class MyHttpControllerRouteHandler : HttpControllerRouteHandler
{
protected override IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(
RequestContext requestContext)
{
return new MyHttpControllerHandler(requestContext.RouteData);
}
}
// Now Session is visible in your Web API
public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
public string Get(string input)
{
var session = HttpContext.Current.Session;
if (session != null)
{
if (session["Time"] == null)
session["Time"] = DateTime.Now;
return "Session Time: " + session["Time"] + input;
}
return "Session is not availabe" + input;
}
}
