Right. SharedObject is going to be the only way to do this. The problem is you cannot use the standard J2EE HttpSession object to store the session state because it is transient surviving only the like of the browser executable. You will need to persist this state off to some less transient storage like a database. When the user logs back in, you would read some opaque value (read GUID for instance) out of the SharedObject, then lookup the users state in the database and then store it into the transient HttpSession. Any changes to the session you will also have to manually persist off to the database (there are eventing hooks on the HttpSession so you could automate this).
The user will need to log back in after a browser shutdown, but you could recover all state. Actually BTW this is a good way to handle lots of login/session business rules which arent easily supported via J2EE. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.

You *could* store session data in a local shared object (flash cookie) and have your application read from that on startup to determine whether or not the user needs to be brought to a login page. Then when the user explicitly logs off you can nuke that shared object. Not the most secure approach though. > > > > Cheers, > > Stace > > > > ________________________________ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel > Sent: Sunday, September 10, 2006 4:26 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Handling Login > > > > Im trying to create a Login screen where I can save a user's session > information, so I can retrieve that later and use it for some validations. > Is there a way that I can save this info as a session that last even > when the user closes the browser, and until he signs out? > > How would you recommend it should be handled?
