Hi List,
A strange question sure, but for curiosity's sake I'm trying to understand how
the WebObjects adaptor maintains a mapping of instance ID cookie names to
applications. Looking at the source it looks like "woinst" is hardcoded into
the adaptor in config.h, and I can't find anywhere else the INST_COOKIE var is
set. Then in _collectRequestInformation in transaction.c the cookie header is
searched for the INST_COOKIE value ("woinst") to determine which app instance
to send the request to (_collectRequestInformation writes to memory the app
instance specified for the handleRequest function to look up later).
So I'm left wondering how the adaptor knows where to fetch the the instance ID
from to forward requests to. I can see that it works, requests that create
sessions with a custom instanceIdKey continue to find their way to the correct
application instance, but why? Obviously I'm missing something, would love a
hand figuring out what!
