Hi, I have a scenario where the session variable is handy in the model - I need to be able to get the current value, as it may be changed at any time.
I have a delayed_job that runs a long running model activity (calling multiple web services, populating the database, etc.) in the background. This is triggered when a user selects an item from a list in the UI. However, if the user clicks on another item, I want the current processing to stop, as I want to keep the delayed_job worker pool as free as possible (the more the jobs, the more I am billed by the hoster). The only way I can see to achieve this is to set a session variable (session[:current_topic_id]) when the user clicks on a topic, and then check in each stage of the model action if the current topic is the same as the one stored in the session, and abort the long job if they are out of sync. Here, passing in the session variable to the model method wont really work for me, I have to pass in the session id and check the variable value across the model code.
