Hi Jean-Marie,
the most used approach is very similar to the static method one in
the example, but to store the game data in a database instead. The
static method approach really is just for the purpose of the example,
and I agree, it's not a good idea for a production application.
Still I'd consider using continuations though, they're supposed to
make things easier ;-)
You can also have stateful components that remember their own state:

You could combine that with session state storage, instead of using
the client side:

Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Geert

To be concrete, I have one question:
I want, say, to program a small game as a pilot, very much like the
ones in
the examples. I need (I think) some kind of state preservation for
keeping
the current status of the game. I want to keep it simple for know
so I don't
want to go into the continuation approach.
If I look at the similar examples, I see to ways this sate
management is
resolved :
Either they use a game id passed from element to element. A static
method
getGame of some class serves as a repository of games.
The other approach uses the HttpSession but directly, bypassing the
normal
shielding of RIFE (setRawAccess sort of...)
Would it be possible to use a session but by the "normal" mecanisms
of RIFE
(without using the above trick).
I also don't like using the static method approach with look to me
not very
Web oriented (what would happen in a clustering env?)
I am sure that there is a better way but I have not been able to
discover it
by myself.
Thanks for any hint.
