Session Data Sharing amongst WebApps

[muralis]

Hello All,

I am using Ofbiz 12.04. Am trying to implement a feature where a user can
goBack to the previous page. Used the "SaveLastView" feature and it works
well until the user is in the same WebApp.

When the user navigates to another webapp the SaveLastView Does not work.

On investigating realized that there is a new session created when the user
navigates into a new WebApp, and the new session Object does not hold the
SavedView of the previous session

I also realized there is an entity called UserLoginSessions, and this
entity is never populated.

Any help to share the SaveLastView amongst Webapps (sessions) much
appreciated

Thanks.

Hello all,
it's a small thing but in the accounting component, for a "In-Process"
invoice, there is this menu choice "Echéances" in the french langage
option (Terms in english). This lead to think that you can only edit the
due date of the invoice.
I'm not an expert in the invoicing vocabulary so I did some research and
didn't find the good match for this translation.

This button leads to a page where you can add conditions to the invoice.
Given the translation in the other langage, I propose the french
translation to be "Conditions" instead.

What do you think of this proposition ?

I don't know if there is a specific mailing list for discussion on
translation. Tell me if there is one so I can use it for the next times.

Thanks,
Have a nice day.

I agree ("condition de facturation" semble en effet être la meilleure traduction pour "invoice term")

Nope, dev would be a better place but here is OK

Thanks

Hi Murali,

Sessions between two web applications cannot be shared and this is done by
design for security reasons. This is part of Apache server specification
and not specific to OFBiz. In OFBiz, when web app is changed and  you use
externalLoginKey as a parameter and send it in URL , new session is not
created and same userLogin is used.

Now talking about saveLastView in OFBiz, I think it is not currently
supported that you can save last view among multiple web-applications. I
have not looked much into the code, but you can try using externalLoginKey
and see if saveLastView works. If it works, you will also have to make sure
that request which you want to save exists in both (the one in which you
are using and the other to which you navigated) the  web applications.

Thanks

Thank you Divesh for your response.

I was thinking if we can replicated the session Attributes
(_SAVED_LAT_VIEW_) in other User sessions in the Request Handler , by
caching the user specific sessions in UtilCache.... Not too sure what will
be replications on this from concurrency perspective. Thoughts ? Reaction
from other users on this need ?

Also curious to know the use of UserLoginSessions Entity. I saw this being
cleared up (Deleted) during Session Destruction, but never inserted. May be
another place to use to share session data except that that this will carry
the additional overhead of Persistance, which I thought is not required.


Thanks.
