Eilon,

Good write up. Some comments follow.

* Sessions in Browser.

The assumption "multiple browser windows equate to one set of cookies" is
true when all the browser windows are part of the same process. While this
is a common case in Windows it does not necessary holds true, MS Explorer
can be configured to use separate processes for each browser window, in that
case each browser window has its own set of cookies.

* Basic Scenario.

I agree with your conclusion. I would just state that the consumer has to
provide to the producer enough information so the producer knows that 2 requests
are meant for the same client, this would allow the producer to use the same
session for both request if it needs to do so.

* Sharing between Groups Portlets and Sharing between Group and User Portlets

I see these 2 cases outside of the scope of the WSRP, at least for the first
version.

Regards.

Alejandro

Carsten and team,

 

Attached are some additional thoughts on sessions - in particular how people may want to use sessions in a different way that I am not sure works very well with our current approach.

As promised (though a bit late) here is a sketch of my current
understanding of the notion of sessions.
