Class Session.Key

java.lang.Object
  com.marringtons.util.Session.Key

Enclosing class:

Session

public abstract static class Session.Key

extends Object

Key is returned by Session factory methods to create a private static key to keep in calling classes to provide class, package or global scope session data. It is advisable to cache it as a static value of the calling class since xxx.class is (surprisingly) a non-trivial library operation using Class.forName (at least using the Sun 1.4 JVM).

 public class Panel extends Page
   {
     protected void setup()
       {
          ...
          HashMap portals =
            (HashMap) request.session.get( panelCacheKey);
          ...
        }
      private static final Session.Key panelCacheKey =
        Session.classScope( Panel.class, "data", HashMap.class, true);
   }
