State Management and the Request-Response Loop

As you've seen in the previous chapter, "How WebObjects Works," WebObjects manages session state as part of the request-response loop. User-specific state---whether it's associated with an individual component or with the entire session---is kept in a session object that's made available when a request is received and is stored away after the response page is sent. This section takes a closer look at how WebObjects manages session objects.
