Srini --
Your posts regarding session tracking should well be addressed by Jason'
book OR any book with session tracking and some reading about cookies. I
guess, if you can get the feel of :
*
stateless HTTP.
*
need for a token to flow back and forth between client (broswer) and
server (webserver + servlet engine)
*
cookies as a mechanism to store (temporarily / persistently) the token
name-value pair on CLIENT side. Or alternatively, using URL rewrite
mechanism to explicitly pass the token key -value in each of the requests.
* session tracking is (mostly) implemented by the webserver / servlet engine
and at the application level you can access them using said API of the JSDK.
* Only the "session id" goes back and forth between webserver and client.
Not the values. (unless you are using URL rewrite for some tokens)
These are some notes from my experience with session tracking .. thot it
might help you too ..
Archives from this list will also have a good reading material. People have
explained it very well here. (Only that you got to be patient sifting thru
it !)
