Thanks for your lengthy reply jon. ;) but I don't understand how your suggestion is
possible. I don't want to check if every session
is old, but check on a per screen basis. Ie. If my screen contains data that is not
persisted, and therefore requires it to be in
the session, I must be able to check whether the session is fresh. Otherwise, on pages
with no data taken from the session I don't
care whether the session has expired or not. I don't see how I could achieve this with
a session validator.
I suppose I could have the sessionvalidator return false for requiresNewSession but I
am worried about knock on effects in Turbine
(my understanding of how Turbine handles sessions is fairly primitive as you can tell!)
I would appreciate it if somebody could expand on Jon's original help.
Thanks a million
Gareth
