Re: management session

SmallWiki 1 is basically state-less, there is nothing such as a session object. The login is stored within a session cookie, a string with username and password that is passed back and forth between the client and the server. The session cookie is created in Login>>executeLogin, transformed back into the user-object in Request>>updateAuthenticationFromCookies and removed in Logout>>executeLogout. Alternatively basic-authentication can be used, but that is the same thing: you get logged out when closing the browser window. However there is (a very limited) possibility to pass objects from one page to the other one without serializing them: as links and form callbacks are defined using blocks that are cached on the server, you can pass data trough those blocks from one request to the other. An example can be seen in EditActin>>renderContent and SessionAction>>renderForm:, where the target structure is remembered using this technique. You should have a look at Seaside if you like to do fancy things with non-stateless web-applications. Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
