[opencms-dev] tool handler depending on session attributes

[Michael Moossen]

Hi Nacho!

the I_CmsToolHandler was sometime refactored to also provide the 
isVisble(CmsWorkplace) and isEnabled(CmsWorkplace) methods just because 
of scenarios like yours.

if you implement these methods the isVisible(CmsObject) and 
isEnabled(CmsObject) wont be called anymore. (see 
org.opencms.workplace.tools.A_CmsToolHandler).

once you have the wp instance you can access to the session with: 
wp.getJsp().getRequest().getSession();
