The toolkit uses the following two approaches to handle session identification in an HTTP environment:
Mechanisms are provide to exploit the benefits of each of these approaches in order to cope with the following requirements:
No matter which session identification approach is used, it is the application's responsibility to perform the tasks required to meet its requirements. The toolkit does not provide fixed or default mechanisms to do these tasks because these are dependent on the specific solution environment. However, a set of infrastructure mechanisms are provided, and these are described in the remainder of this section.
