Struts2 Configutation alternative to sessions?

[James Carr <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,
I'm using struts 2 for a small web app that has an action attribute
that needs to maintain state. Currently I'm using sessions but I would
like to reconfigure my application to use something besides sessions,
perhaps something like viewState in .NET that would be availble via a
hidden input or get parameter. I'm sure struts 2 has something like
this, but I currently cannot find any good reference online via
google.


Thanks,
James

I think you should not be so sure. :-)

If you're *really* intent on avoiding sessions and you don't want to 
just handle the state-management yourself (with hidden fields, 
url-rewriting, etc.) then you could take a look at WebFlow.  It can 
provide a view-state context and it can do it without relying on a 
session.  It's also a huge learning curve and somewhat tricky to 
integrate into s2.

Sessions aren't currently available on the server and I don't want to
have to wait till the end of the week for my client to view the
application.

Why are you trying to avoid the session?

Why? AFAIK there's nothing like a viewstate built-in.
Isn't viewState deserialization handled by the ASP
renderer on the server side? I'm not sure how you'd
implement that, although you could always do it
client-side via JavaScript.
