I don't know if this is what you're trying to accomplish, but I would
just use the WOSID parameter and then call the session() method.
"WOSID" is a recognized parameter by WebObjects. If the session with
that ID exists then it's returned by the session() method and if it's
not then a new one is created.
For example, you would create a DA URL like so:
http://.../wa/verify?wosid=<sessionID>&k=<randomNumber>
Then your DA would look like so:
public WOActionResults verifyAction() {
Session session = (Session)session();
/* Do any processing on the session here. */
}
See if that works for you.

Don't do this. Write to the DB. At best you will have two
different sessions checked out for the same request. I don't think
that will have happy results for your application.

I think that WOSessionStore.checkOutSessionWithID() is the method

If it is, then I need help understanding the second argument,
"WORequest aRequest."
I'm making a method where I verify that an email address exists
and is correct before I continue with a registration process. In
the email, I'd like to have a link that runs a direct action which
includes the current session ID and a random number to match. For
example:
http:// ... /verify?s=<sessionID>&k=<randomNumber>
Typically, the DA would create a new session, but I would like it
to use the session ID from the URL, so that I have the same
randomNumber in memory and don't need to insert/fetch from the
db. (This gives my users a 2 hour time limit before session
timeout, but I'm okay with that.) I know how to get values from
the URL ... what I can't figure out is how to use an existing
session instead of making a new one. This is where I think I need
WOSessionStore.checkOutSessionWithID().
How can I do this?
(I'm assuming, perhaps wrongly, that restoration of the session
will result in the page the user was just in, as if it was always
there, including values in the variables just as they were.)
Thanks for any help or direction,
Nathan
