Action Class Life Cycle

[Javed Mahmud <jm...@it.uts.edu.au>]

Hi All,
I have a question that Are The Action Classes tied to a JSP portlet
instantiated for each request or each session OR Is there no guarantee
about the Action class instantiation (and all depends on turbine)?

As I have some instance variables that I need to initialise when user
first logs in and these values will remain same for the whole session for
that particular user.


Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Javed

Using instance variables in actions is not a good idea (especially if module
caching is on). Use PortletSessionState class instead of instance variables.
