Hi Anthony, Thanks for your response. Basically what I am doing is creating a new channel for each user (random hash), via my site framework. I don't make use of APE sessions at all; instead I just join the user to this channel. So the same user on my site has different APE sessions, but are both subscribed to the same general purpose "user channel". They then can receive messages on this channel that I've created, and send messages to other users via the site framework (that knows how to generate the channel hash from a user id). To send messages to APE from my application, I'm using the inline push. It seems to work ok, despite having an odd transport (why not POST instead of url encoded GET params?).
I'm just wondering if there are any performance concerns with having many channels (1 per user). I am guessing channels are handled similar to user pipes, so it shouldn't be a big deal? The issue I came across with APE sessions is that I have a need to supply the session id from my application, and get back something that I can identify the APE user with and communicate with him, such as his pubid. That way, I can send messages to users from my application, and users can communicate between themselves using the APE server, without having to involve my application. If you could make this any easier, for people already with a user system that would be great!
