Hello Marc,
we are both right. To summarize it: There is server state (database,
file system or what ever), but no server session state.
regards
Stephan
one of the main points of REST is, that there is no session state on
the server. If you want to have a session state, than you do not
follow the REST architecture style.
uh, yes, but:
observation 1- there *is* server side state in ReSTful apps. As
Stephan points out however it is not 'session state'. It should not be
'application state' but it is always and only 'resource state'
observation 2- there really is nothing that prevents resources to live
only for a certain period of time, nor is there anyone forcing you to
have them persisted on disk (although most people will think of them
as such)
