How to get Session ID and Server url from Visual force page to Controller class when page loads

I need to set Session ID and Server URL when page loads in controller class. This is required to call external synchronous web service call

right now i am using this blog post only, here i need to click the output text field to get server url and session id, what i need is something like on page load without clicking anything on page. I mean when page loads first time i need to get server url and session id.

 

is there any way or woraround for my requirement..

*Bump*

 

Working on this same issue right now. To further complicate this I 'm have a component that need to get this info and I'd really not require user interaction. Any suggestions?

Try Following







<script> var btnCopy = document.getElementById("{!$Component.lk}"); </script>

<script>
window.onload = new function() { btnCopy.click(); };
</script>

Thanks for the suggestion but I took a different route using the onload event. The following works in a VF page;

 

 

<apex:page setup="true" controller="MyController" showHeader="true">
    <apex:form>
     <apex:actionFunction name="getAPIParams" id="getAPIParams" action="{!dologin}" reRender="theForm" >
         <apex:param name="sessionId" assignTo="{!apiSessionId}" value="{!$Api.Session_ID}" />
         <apex:param name="serverURL" assignTo="{!apiServerURL}" value="{!$Api.Partner_Server_URL_140}" />
     </apex:actionFunction>
<script language="JavaScript">      
          window.onload = function() { getAPIParams();}
      </script>
    </apex:form> 
</apex:page>
 
 
public class MyController {

 public String apiSessionId {get;set;} 
 public String apiServerURL {get;set;} 
 
 public PageReference doLogin(){ 
  System.debug('apiSessionId: ' + apiSessionId); 
  System.debug('apiServerURL: ' + apiServerURL); 
  return null; 
 }

}
 
Check the System Log to verify the outputs. It also seems to work when nested in a component using the same controller.
 
 
<apex:page setup="true"  showHeader="true">
    <c:testServerParams />
</apex:page>
 
<apex:component controller="MyController">
  <apex:form >
     <apex:actionFunction name="getAPIParams" id="getAPIParams" action="{!dologin}" reRender="theForm" >
         <apex:param name="sessionId" assignTo="{!apiSessionId}" value="{!$Api.Session_ID}" />
         <apex:param name="serverURL" assignTo="{!apiServerURL}" value="{!$Api.Partner_Server_URL_140}" />
     </apex:actionFunction>
<script language="JavaScript">      
          window.onload = function() { getAPIParams();}
      </script>
    </apex:form> 
</apex:component>
 
 
 The key I found was the reRender attribute on the ActionFunction. Without it the variables don't get passed back to the controller.

Thanks for the above code. There's a bug in it; you need to set the id of form element to theForm.

Is there any standard methods to retrive the apiSessionId and apiServerURL values directly in class.
