In my opinion, yes. Others will disagree.

In my experience, storing things in the session causes really strange behavior in tabbed browsers - because all tabs share a single session. Also, the data vanishes when the session expires - which causes a bizarre user experience ("Where did my shopping cart go??").

Thanks Adrian,

So is it best not to use <session-to-field> and <field-to-session>?

From my perspective, modifying the session object in Mini-language is a bad idea. There are plenty of examples of request events and services modifying the session object, but doing so always results in quirky behavior.

If you need to persist a value, then it would be best to store the value in the database.

Anyone know how to access the session in simple methods so that setAttribute and getAttribute can be performed?
