We have an application that needs to mix DirectActions for the purposes
of book-marking and general performance improvements with stateless
components to support a large number of users.
However, some pieces of the site are also secure and therefore the user
needs to log-in and maintain a session with the application.
Using URL-based session state, the session context is lost when moving
between DirectAction pages and regular WO pages.
What solutions have people found to this? We have two ideas and would
like to have other peoples comments on them:-
1) Force WO to use a cookie for maintaining session state. While the
DirectAction pages will ignore this (will they? or is there someway to
still get at the session even though this is a DirectAction?) the
session should be preserved when the user selects a link to a regular
session-based WO page.
2) Pass the user's session ID around in the URL between DirectAction
pages but don't require them. Therefore, the DA pages will still work
for people without a session and of someone bookmarks the page, somehow
the DA page can ignore the session and/or pass the session information
to regular pages/
Any other ideas or comments?
Karl
