Using global object to save user information

[Yene]

Am trying to use my user object to hold one value after the user has logged in my website. when loging in the user object id is set using user.setid("id");

Once this is done. I want to use user.getid(); in a differernt method to update user record.

I cant get the user object to hold the same value between the two methods

If your web service requires user information in order to work properly then your "website" that is using (consuming) the web service must provide the user information to the web service.

So, a user logs into your website.

You store their user information somewhere accessible to you for the duration of the time that they are logged in....like Session or something.

When the user does something that requires the web service, you provide the information required by the web service in order for it to work.
