Re: how instantiate an Action for each session?

[Charles Yates]

    Component instantiation is handled by the underlying component 
framework, Avalon.  What you would like to do is _might_ be possible by 
mucking with Avalon (ComponentHandlers and such)  but there must be an 
easier way.  For example, your Action could use the Session object to 
keep an Object of your choice to handle the per-session functionality 
you want.  You get the Session from the objectModel Map object passed in 
the act() method:

HttpSession session = ObjectModelHelper.getRequest(objectModel).getSession();
MySessionObject obj = (MySessionObject) session.getAttribute("mySessionObj");
if ( null == obj )
   obj = new MySessionObject();
   session.setAttribute("mySessionObj", obj);
}

Hi,

I am hoping someone can help me with this. I have created an Action 
and would like an instance of that Action to be instantiated for each 
new session that uses the Action.

For example, take this snippet from my sitemap.

<map:components>
  <map:actions>
       <map:action name="JukeBoxAction" src="test.JukeBoxAction"/>
   </map:actions>
</map:components>
<map:pipeline>
    <map:match pattern="jukeBox/jukeBox.xmap">
       <map:act type="JukeBoxAction">
          <map:generate src="xmlAction/xmlAction.xsp" 
type="serverpages"/>
          <map:transform src="jukeBox/jukeBox.xsl"/>
          <map:serialize type="html"/>
       </map:act>
   </map:match>
 </map:pipeline>

I would like an instance of JukeBoxAction to be created for each 
person or session that matches the above pattern.

The behaviour right now is that one instance of the JukeBoxAction 
object is created and multiple sessions access the same object instance.

I would like each session to create and use its own  JukeBoxAction 
instance.

Any help with this problem would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
