I think that both approaches have their pros and cons. Up to now most web applications I'm aware of prefer using request over session for parameter passing. Such an approach is easy to use and scales well. It works HTTP way meaning that a developer does not have to fight with session-specific issues: multiple browser windows, back button, session expiration etc. > Also the ObjectProxy solution (I already tried such > a thing before - > havent looked at rumba yet, might be different > solved) didnt lead to the > nicest looking code.

We have tried to make ObjectProxy API as clean as possible to use it effectively. We use it when there are session(HTTP)-lifetime objects that contain references to persistent objects. We chose to avoid "session-per-conversation" pattern since Hibernate session containing the ShoppingCart would be more close to "session-per-application" which is to be avoided. > > I still think the seam way is the better, "session > in conversation" is > much more intuitive to work with as you can work > with your objects as > expected. We had a working solution that provided convenient conversation support. It had some threading issues so we delayed it until the next Rumba release. I think that multi-page conversations are usually not a central part of the application and it is better to optimize cases used the most. > I would like to see a seam-light.
