btw, SecondLevelCacheSessionStore seems a little fuzzy to me as a name. it presumes someone knows what a "second level cache" is. what about something a little more direct like maybe FileBackedSessionStore? not sure i love that either, but it's maybe a little more obvious.
no that is not obvious. The secondlevelcachesessionstore is really what it is. It caches the pages and only the FilePageStore (IPageStore) stores it to a dir. But that can also be a implementation that stores it to a database. So the SessionStore itself doesn't save the pages anywhere except in a soft cache. johan
