message - the detail to throw, or null to allow access to the session

setUserSession

public static void setUserSession(UserSession userSession)

sets the userSession object into the global variable for this thread

Parameters:

userSession -

getUifFormManager

public static UifFormManager getUifFormManager()

Retrieves the UifFormManager which can be used to store and remove forms from the session

Returns:

UifFormManager

setUifFormManager

public static void setUifFormManager(UifFormManager uifFormManager)
