I do have a user object connected to a session, but if that user then opens
multiple browsers, such as by shift-clicking on a link in Explorer, that
additional window will just appear like more requests coming from the same
user on the same session.
So, if I keep something simple like the "last pages viewed" for a recently
visited navigation bar, it will get confused because it will interleave the
pages visited by those two browser windows. Or, if I try to keep anything
in the session object, like the "current object being worked on," it can be
overwritten if that additional browser window switches that so-called
"current object." The first window will basically lose track of its
"current object" on its next invocation.
For the most part, I am able to keep pages context free, but this can be
tedious when it comes to a complex object retrieved from the database based
on a somewhat complex query, and that object needs to be passed from pages
via links, and from pages via FORM POSTs. If I just pass the object ID, I
will have to retrieve it over an over again, but if I store it in a
session-oriented bean, it can be trashed by multiple windows.
It must be a very common problem, and I was querying to see how such issues
are being handled out there.
