RE: [Authentication] - User with mixed Sessions

["Kumar, Kiran" <kk...@kheaa.com>]

Thanks for all the information. here is what I started doing after some
research

To Start with here is the changes I did

1. stopped storing document in session. only root element is stored

2. here is the sample sitemap pipeline. I will give you complete sitemap
when I go to office tomorrow morning
 
when there xml needs to be built
<map:match .....>
   <map:act type="xml">
    <map:generate type="session-attr">
      <map:parameter name="attr-name" value="root"/>
     </map:generate> 
    <map:transform...../>
   </map:act>
</map:match>
  

when not required
<map:match .....>
    <map:generate type="session-attr">
      <map:parameter name="attr-name" value="root"/>
     </map:generate> 
    <map:transform...../>
</map:match>

3. To remove the caching problem, I started using a Filter and in the
doFilter() method, I am setting the response.setHeader("Cache-control","
no-cache") etc

This filters all the requests coming to the web.xml

4. in the <map:handle-errors/> pipeline in subsitemap, rebuilding the xml
when user requests a URL from their bookmarks

--------------------------------------

also I will follow the session creation rules..


but I am still not clear how to control the multithreading issue?????


please guide me in this

Is posible to update to a newer version? Perhaps after 2.1.5.1?

I will like to see the sitemaps? And some generated pages.

Try to use request.getSession(true) only in places where you are sure
the
user needs to create a new session. I remember to had problems with
that.
The same apply to the action below. Try to make a map where the use is
going and use request.getSession(false) where you are sure the user
already has a session.

Same as above.

Are you tried to debug this part of the code? You can use eclipse to see
"step by step" what is going on and keep track of the variables you
think
are causing troubles.
