Hi David,

Thanks for jumping back in.

Here are the original 4 options that you posted (I numbered them for reference);

(1)- one session id per client vm
(2)- one session id per client connection
(3)- one session id per login (security scoped)
(4)- one session id per remote ejb proxy

I prefer 4 because it will work best with what I expect to be the most typical use case (but I could be wrong so please point out better info if I am). Typical being a web app connected to the ejb tier. Although 3 is probably close enough to 4 that it would not cause conflict in the items in the cache being locked. I think both 1 and 2 would cause lots of conflict in what is being locked.

Now I'm full of questions :-)

What are the motivations/benifits/costs WRT the current openejb code base WRT the 4 options? Do you have a preference one way or the other? (as was said earlier less code change is better, at least in the beginning :)
How is the sessionid concept currently implemented (if at all)?

TTFN,

The question hasn't been answered at a concrete level I was looking for. To play along... the session id is tied to the "client", fine. What is a client and how do we identify one? ;)

Ok...then I think we are in agreement then here ;-)

Hi Jeff,

That might be the current impl. But this whold thread was to discuss what the session id should be.

I'm trying to say that of the 4 options presented at the root of this thread I'd prefer that the session ID be tied to the particular client which would lead to the smallest glob of stuff that gets locked.

if we go with the first option (again from the root of the thread) we would have a session id per client vm, that is what I don't want.

If the seesion id is tied to the client vm, i.e. the web vm then there is one session id per web tier vm (which in all likelyhood has many many users).

Hmmm...I don't think I agree here. I believe the session id is tied to the client...period. There is one id per session per client...not web
tier vm.  Maybe you can explain what you are thinking?

Its my understanding the session id is like a web session...that
particular client gets a unique id that represents only that session for
that client.
