Provided by module: Tags: Session tag module

Creates a session bound scope. The session is identified by a session key, given as an argument to the session tag. The session key could be e.g. a value generated by &roxen.unique-id; which is then transported by form variables. An alternative which often is more convenient is to use the variable client.session (provided by this module) together with the <force-session-id> tag and the feature to set unique browser id cookies in the http protocol module (located under the server ports tab).


Attributes

id="string"

The key that identifies the session. Could e.g. be a name, an IP adress, a cookie or the value of the special variable client.session provided by this module (see above).


life="number" (900)

Determines how many seconds the session is guaranteed to persist on the server side. Values over 900 means that the session variables will be stored in a disk based database when they have not been used within 900 seconds.


force-db

If used, the session variables will be immediatly written to the database. Normally, e.g. when not defined, session variables are only moved to the database when they have not been used for a while (given that they still have "time to live", as determined by the life attribute). This will increase the integrity of the session, since the variables will survive a server reboot, but it will also decrease performance somewhat.


scope="name" (session)

The name of the scope that is created inside the session tag.
