--------------------------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
> ApplicationStateObject is a misleading term
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TAP5-274
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-274
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Geoff Callender
>
> This is a record of a discussion that went on in the mailing list on 16-18
> Sep 2008. I proposed that the term ApplicationStateObject caused confusion.
> Some agreed but not all. Regardless, the discussion threw up some
> interesting food for thought, so I've captured it here for further
> consideration.
> Here's the e-mail that kicked it off.
> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> Subject: T5: ApplicationStateObject is misleading
> Date: 16 September 2008 9:06:12 PM
> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> We want Tapestry to be as natural as possible for newcomers, so it's
> important to have terminology that is not misleading. Right now might be the
> last chance to tidy some of these up before T5.0 goes final.
> One term that I believe many people find misleading is ApplicationState. The
> problem is that it implies it will make an object available across the whole
> application, ie. application-scoped; which is not its purpose.
> The doco says that ASOs "are unique to an individual user, not shared between
> users", which is not quite right, either.
> The standard usage is to tie an object's scope to that of a web session, so
> maybe we should put "session" in the name? Eg.
> @SessionScoped
> @SessionShared
> @ShareAcrossSession
> It is important to understand that the term "session" here is NOT a reference
> to the persistence mechanism, but a reference to the scope.
> Alternatively, let's keep it really obvious with this:
> @StateObject
> with the understanding that the default persistence strategy is "session".
> What do others think? Are you happy with ApplicationState?
