that is true for data entry screens. Not for various display screens where you only need an identifier to retrieve your information from a database. For data entry screens I think I will have to rely on sessions, since I like my data in the database to be complete otherwise you should have a worker thread to check your database for incomplete fields and destroy these incomplete records after a number of time/days/weeks.
