Yes, it does help. I have no problem with attaching objects to a session, but was just curious how the API authors defined it. Thanks... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 03:11:33 +0300 From: Ia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Session Object -- what's "application layer"? Peace, Jonathan! >Can anyone define "application layer data"??? I guess term inspired by OSI model -- "application" means your data, that you want to "attach" to a specific session, versus any data the system keeps for doing its communications "layer" gimmicks. Nice feature, actually. Allows you to "attach" objects to a session, saves you the trouble of matching requests (HTTP has no "state") to a continuing interaction with users...
