If I use the "session" to store things, 1. Can I use simple java types? 2. Do I have to use Java Beans (extends serializable)?

Yes.
But you can set some attributes of the objects as [ transient ] to not be serialized. So you don't have to make all objects in the package serializable.

Subject: Nervous about Sessions ...



Long ago a multi-client, multi-Oracle application was written using Struts. Recently, we had a 4 in 22,000 record data integrity issue. I found one client implementation that used prepared statements but the primary key was being used e.g. "update mytable set a= ?, b=? where pri_key = " + pkey + " ' "; ...whoa! I said, called the developer and we had a talk.


Then, I also found that where we use a HashMap object it is not synchronized. I suspect that was the data problem, i.e. two records saved by two different people, and the data was the same for the different records in the same Oracle second.

I'm looking for comments about the use of this HashMap on "requests" but I'm also nervous now where I use Strings in the "session" e.g. a clientname, username, etc. My concern started when I read the posts about the non-serializable objects in the session. Do all java objects placed in the session have to be serializable?

Thanks,

David L. Whitehurst
