Hi all, I think I have made some progress with my problem and just have a much more basic question. :-)
What is a global variable in Mason? Are global variables accessible by all components in a request, all requests from a single user (this one doesn't make sense), or global for all users? Say user 1 accesses index.html that sets the global variable x to "100". If user 2 accesses index.html and reads x, will she get "100" also? Even worse, if User 1 sets the value to "100" upon reading index.html and user 2 sets it to "200", if user 1 goes to next.html, is it foolish to rely on the fact that x must be "100"? In the Mason Book, they seemed to have used user names and DB access ($User and $Schema) as a global, but they "limit their lifetime via the use of local()". In the context of Mason, what does local have the effect of doing? Thank you!
