I understand the use of a token when you have an authenticated session, but what is the point in sending one when they aren't authenticated? Is it common practice to create a session when a user ...

We've used WSE with a web service in the past and this made things unbelievably complex and impossible to debug properly. Now we're ditc...

The ZF examples appear to work by generating NEW namespaces, but they only demonstrate this within one action - but how do I access an existing namespace from a separate action? Here's the code: public function indexAction(){ $defaultNamespace = new Ze...

After running it a few times, I get thrown a Out of Memory exception, so I guess I have a few questions? Is Session the best way to handle this? Does Session.Clear("session") release it from Memory?...

I have a project for school and I have to use Java. Recently I found play framework and I want to try to use it. It's easy enough for a quick start, but I ran into a problem with session. Being stateless by its nature, play sends entire session to user in cookie and receives it on next request, so it allows only limited amount of data i...
