Hi guys--
I am working on writing Palm Query Applications (PQAs). One of the
big nasty deals with them is the lack of cookie support, so that means =
CF
sessions don't work. One saving grace for the palm, however, is that =
it has
a unique identifier called the DeviceID - it is unique to each palm and =
can
be used as a number to key a session off of.
Can anyone give me any pointers to creating a session management
system that is as easy to use as the native CF sessions?
My current thinking is along these lines:
1. User logs in, DeviceID is sent and put in a table that
links username to deviceid.
2. We have another table which has 4 columns:
id(IDENTITY), username, variable_name, variable_contents.
3. Write a custom tag that takes in the name of a variable.
It then adds this variable and the variables current contents to the =
table,
so if we have:
<cfinclude template=3D"palmsession_header.cfm">
<cfset action=3D"monkey">
<cf_palmsessionregister variable=3D"action">
<cfinclude template=3D"palmsession_footer.cfm">
The table now has
ID Username Variable_Name Variable_Contents
---------------------------------------------------
1 | bbatchel | action | monkey
4. Then, the script can do whatever it wants with that
variable....
5. At the end of the script, a file is included that
contains code which will updade the values of all variables registered =
with
the system to the current state of the variables after execution.
6. At the begining of the next page, a file is included
that will re-instate the variables in the table so they are available =
to the
script.
7. a <cf_palmsessionunregister variable=3D""> will be
available to remove variables from the session scope.
8, It is also relevant that in every URL I am including a
?deviceid=3D(deviceid from palm) so that the session is able to know =
who I am.
I will probably change this to a randomly generated number so that my
session key is not predictable.
Does anyone think this is an effective way of faking sessions?
Anyone have any better ideas?
There is a tool that will act as a proxy for PQAs that will maintain
cookies, and hence real CF sessions would work, but I am afraid that =
will
cause other problems later on.
Thanks,
--b
