Hi Mike
Thanks for the reply. I think I have missed something here. I believe if we
store an object in the session
its still stored on the server, but is specific to the active user-session.
I cant imagine any java objects been sent across the network to the client
... In addition, i am suprised that storing objects in the session object
works, when the client has sessions switched off hence app.setAttribute() ??
Help !!!
regards,
Ben
