State Storage Strategies
WebObjects gives you the option of storing state in a couple of different ways:
- In the server. State is maintained in memory within a WebObjects application.
- In custom stores. State is stored using a mechanism of your own design.
An additional option when storing the state on the server is to utilize cookies for persistently storing the client's sessionID and instanceID. This allows the client to transparently have their session restored if they leave the application and return before their session has timed out. Methods on WOSession allow for the customization of this feature. This feature will be explained in more detail below.
