Is it possible (due to security reasons) to tie every continuation to a particular user session? This way noone could "hack" into the application by using an url from history. I have problems with my application because it allows to run a continuation even if user has logged out. If continuations were bound to a particular session destroying the session would invalidate ALL of them - which is much better solution than invalidating each by hand in flowscript.

I found this problem and I really have no idea how I could fix this. Right now it looks like this:



<snip what="code"/>

The problem is : I cannot wrap <map:call continuation/> with some session validator action because I do not know if this continuation does not belong to login procedure (this way I would block access to entering data into login form - total security ! :)).

I would like to keep the application logic intact so every /baseURL/callSomeFunction.do would show a login form first and then continue to appropriate page (if user has not been authenticated before).

Please comment.



Well, IMO the only clean way to achieve this is to have a continuations manager that automatically binds new continuations to the current session, thus making fully isolated continuation groups.


I proposed this some time ago [1] for other purposes but hadn't the time up to now to actually write it. Want to write it?
If you gave me a few hints what should be changed - I will do it.
