Controlling Session State

 Maintaining state in memory on the server can consume considerable resources, so WebObjects provides a number of mechanisms to control how much state is stored. This section takes a closer look at how you manage sessionwide state.

Take care that your application only stores state for active sessions and stores the smallest amount of state possible. WOSession lets you control these factors by providing a time-out mechanism for inactive sessions and by providing a way to specify exactly what state to store between request-response loop cycles.
