Just for completeness/posterity, here is a sample of full code that does what I set out to do, ie browse active sessions for a given project, determine if a given view is open on those sessions, and then grab the session id and a couple of session custom props from those sessions and build it out into a map to write to a JSON tag.

> context = IgnitionGateway.get()
> mod_mgr = context.getModuleManager()
> # need to get "com.inductiveautomation.perspective.common.api.PropertyType" from module manager to

> props_enum = prop_type_class.valueOf('props')
> custom_enum = prop_type_class.valueOf('custom')
> # the below uses the gateway context module manager to function essentially as an import statement

Thanks to @pturmel and @paul-griffith for getting me off the ground/out of the ditch on this. You guys rock!
