Annotation Type SessionState
@Target(value=FIELD)
@Documented
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@UseWith(value={COMPONENT,MIXIN,PAGE})
public @interface SessionState
Marker annotation for a field that is a session state object (SSO) as controlled by the ApplicationStateManager
. An SSO stored as global session object (i.e., in the ServletContext
); every page or component. In fact, the built-in strategies for ASO management are
very user specific, ultimately storing data in the Session
.
An SSO field may have a companion field, of type boolean, used to see if the SSO has been created yet. If another
field exists with the same name, suffixed with "Exists" (i.e., "sso" for the SSO field, and "ssoExists" for the
companion field) and the type of that field is boolean, then access to the field will determine whether the SSO has
already been created. This is necessary because even a null check ("sso != null") may force the SSO to be created.
Instead, check the companion boolean field ("asoExists").
Note: Tapestry 5.0 called these objects "Application State Objects"; thus many of the underlying services have a
confusing name (ApplicationStateManager, which really should be SessionStateManager ... but can't be renamed for
backwards compatibility reasons).
