Hi, Erik and Freddz. I like the idea of having a wizard whose data gets cleaned as soon as it's scope is left. How about this: Have all resources for one wizard in a URL subdirectory. Have a similar naming convention for the resources the wizard leaves in the session. If a http request comes for an url, the janitor filter could remove all wizard's session resources that do not match the current request's directory. This way the janitor could be fairly generic.
