And different requests for the same session might well run on different instances, so see different values. Same problem with the suggestion to use thread local variables made by a responder to this thread. I'm pretty sure that the only way to deal with values which have to be seen between requests is to either put them in some persistent storage on the server (e.g. the DB, SQL or noSQL), or in the session and let the browser give it back to you. -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
