Hi;
I need to develop a website using JServ. As far as I know, there are
two alternatives to share data between users' different requests (e.g.
shopping cart, authentication, etc.) ;
One of the alternatives is to use HTTPSession object and transfer
related data automatically, this seems pretty easy to implement, but
as far as I know all the information is kept in memory (or swapped,
whatever) and things like hash tables are used to improve performance.
The other option is to give each user an ID like session ID,
store this session ID in a cookie and store the related information in
a database along with this session ID. In my case, I am using Oracle
8.
If you have a heavy traffic on your web site, as you can see, there is
a trade of here between eating up server memory (in case of using
HTTPSession) and time for sending inserts, deletes and queries to
database.
I am not actually sure about which one to use and I appreciate your
comments about this issue.
Thanks ...
