Booking ScopeType.SESSION

[vicky123]

Hi All,
I am very new to seam. Can any one tell me why searchHotel result of booking application is
in SESSION context? Does not it effect the server memory when multiple users are logged in?
Is there any other way of doing it or seam handles it effectively?

Can any one throw some light on it?

Great question.

I don't know what does this mean but still I dont know the answer of my question.

Can any one tell me why is it like that?

I think that it is just for demo, and the same case happens in seam-bay AuctionSearchAction.java. For enterprise project, I remember that pete.muir ever recommended to use EVENT plus page param in this forum.

It depends on your use case. In the booking app, we wanted the search results to be remembered while the user is logged in.

Yes, it's uses memory, but doing the search every time would consume cpu - you need to make this design choice when you write your app.

I said that because, I don't think anyone can really answer that except the stewards of Seam. All other answers will be pure speculation. I was just supporting your question.

I am beginning to think that there should be a warning not to put any SFSB as Session scope or higher due to memory consumption.

I am sorry I misunderstood.

Anyways my use case was not allowing me to use SESSION context in. I have done it using param.

Thanks a lot all.

Dan, we outline why the session scope is a problem in the docs intro and every presentation we do :)
