Re: Users - Re: Shopping Cart Persistence?

[jaki <ja...@infosys.com>]

With a view to implement the above requirement, I decided to use the session
object to store the cart existing prior to login. Then once the user logs
in, I would add the items in this session object to the items in the users
own cart which is retrieved after logging in ( i have 'auto-save' enabled). 
I did this by adding the current cart into the session object with a
different name in getCartObject() since that method is the most likely of
the cart methods to be called during a session. But I also made sure this is
done only if the user is not logged in by enclosing it in an 'if' condn. But
in spite of this, the guest cart gets over written with the user's cart
everytime he logs in. Can anyone explain why this should happen? I even
moved my code into addtoCart() but to no avail. 
Even if a new session is created when the user logs in, this custom cart
should either remain the same or become null since it should get created
only when the user is not logged in
