Is it possible for ASP.NET to mix up which user is associated with which session variable on the server? Are session variables immutably tied to the original user that created them across time, space & dimension? ...
By default the session expiry seems to be 20 minutes. Update: I do not want the session to expire until the browser is closed. Update2: This is my scenario. User logs into site. Plays around the site. Leaves computer to go for a shower (>20 mins ;)). Comes back to computer and should be able to play around. He closes browser, which de...
Here is my current question: I'm guessing that my problem (described below) is being caused by ASP.NET worker processes being recycled, per the answers below—I'm using InProc sessions storage and don't see much chance of moving away, due to the restriction for other types of storage that all session objects be serializable. However, I c...
Sessions in PHP seemed to have changed since the last time I used them, so I'm looking for a simple way of using sessions but at the same time for it to be relatively secure and a good common practice. ...
I usually find that after a couple of hours "in the zone", I need to take a break, get some fresh air and get a new perspective. Often, these breaks allow me to generate a solution to some stumbling block that was preventing progress. If, instead, I continue to pound at the code, I start to get sloppy, make mistakes and get more and mo...
Hello, I'd like to have some rails apps over different servers sharing the same session. I can do it within the same server but don't know if it is possible to share over different servers. Anyone already did or knows how to do it? Thanks ...
Working on a new back end system for my company, and one of their requests is for a window to become locked down and for the user to be sent to the login screen if they leave it idle for to long. I figure I'd do this with JavaScript by attaching listeners to clicks, mouse moves and keyups but I worry about messing with other scripts. A...
Hello, I've created an IHttpHandler in .NET C# which returns pieces of html to a classic asp page. The classic asp page communicates with the IHttpHandler through basic http requests using ServerXMLHTTP in vbscript or Ajax Calls in JavaScript. Now, I need a way to share a variable which I have in vbscript but not in javascript with th...
I am currently building an internal web application used in a factory/warehouse type location. The users will be sharing a single PC between several people, so we need to have a fairly short session timeout to stop people wandering off and leaving the application logged in where someone else can come to the PC and do something under the ...
Hi, I have a class that defines the names of various session attributes, e.g. class Constants { public static final String ATTR_CURRENT_USER = "current.user"; } I would like to use these constants within a JSP to test for the presence of these attributes, something like: <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/co...
We are writing a search application that saves the search criteria to session state and executes the search inside of an asp.net updatepanel. Sometimes when we execute multiple searches successively the 2nd or 3rd search will sometimes return results from the first set of search criteria. Example: our first search we do a look up on ...
I have a database that stores events in it and a page with a calendar object on it. When rendering the days it looks through the months events and if any match the current day being rendered it creates a linkbutton to represent the event in the day on the calendar and adds it to that cell. I add some javascript to the linkbutton to chang...
I have an app that needs to open a new window (in the same domain) so the user can view a report, but on some browsers* the new window doesn't share the non-persistent cookie of the original window, which causes the user to have to sign in again. Is there anything I can do to stop the user having to sign in again in the new window? *In ...
I just figured out that I can actually store objects in the $_SESSION and I find it quite cool because when I jump to another page I still have my object. Now before I start using this approach I would like to find out if it is really such a good idea or if there are potential pitfalls involved. I know that if I had a single point of e...
I am wanting to store the "state" of some actions the user is performing in a series of different ASP.Net webforms. What are my choices for persisting state, and what are the pros/cons of each solution? I have been using Session objects, and using some helper methods to strongly type the objects: public static Account GetCurrentAc...
I want to log user's actions in my Ruby on Rails application. So far, I have a model observer that inserts logs to the database after updates and creates. In order to store which user performed the action that was logged, I require access to the session but that is problematic. Firstly, it breaks the MVC model. Secondly, techniques ran...
We'd like to inspect the state of a user's session state and predefined points during the flow of a legacy web application. We'd like to see which objects are currently present and what the total size is. ...
How unique is the php session id? I got the impression from various things that I've read that I should not rely on two users never getting the same sessionid. Isn't it a GUID? ...
I've never developed a web application that uses distributed memory. Is it common practice to run a tool such as Microsoft Velocity on my local machine as I develop, should I run Velocity on another server as I develop, or should I just develop as normal (default session & cache) and use Velocity only after I've deployed to our develop...
