Is there a good practice when to use the session variable. Sometimes I find myself using both the session variable and instance variable. For example, I have a table that allows a user to select a date. I store the date both in the session and in the instance variable. Should I not bother to store it in session? In what situations should you use the session variable? --
The rails session persists across requests while instance variables do not. If you need something in a following request it (or a reference) must be in the session. If you do not need it later I always use an instance variable.
