My choice was to put a "confirmation" field in the database, and put
this field (randomly generated) instead of the continuation in the
mail. Thus, the user can validate is account whenever he wants. And
I've got no continuation left in memory.
In my case i don't use a database (i was very new to cocoon when i
started the project and never came in the situation where i really
needed one). And the numbers of user wanting to buy a cruise on this
boat shouldn't exceed 1 or 2 per day in the best case, so i'm not too
scared about the memory usage.
the other situation is when a company want to open an account, the
mail is then sent to the manager and the form is redisplayed,
allowing the manager to validate/change the data in the form before
saving the account.
In the first case, the lifetime of the continuation is set to 10
hours, which should be enough for the user to check is mail and click
on the link. If it's not, a page explaining that he have to process
his request again is displayed.
In the second case, the lifetime is set to 100 hours, so that the
manager have a few days to check the validity of the information sent.
Waw. You should have a lot of memory ;) Or very few users :p
Same here with even less demands, maybe one every month or so.
In any case, this approach is really convenient, and i don't really
see the danger in doing this.
Could you explain further why it's dangerous/bad practice ?
I don't really know. We were thinking it was a good practice to not
over-use the memory by keeping needless things while we could put
these in the database, in a same place who can resist to a crash of
the machine.
I choose this solution because the good part of the continuation is that
you don't have to store anything, the continuation does it for you. And
in my case, there is very few continuations likely to live together in
memory, and the amount of data stored in memory is very small (only one
small dom object and a few strings).
