FlashCONNECT Sessions
A session begins when a user reaches the first form. At that time, the FlashCONNECT
connection is available only to the browser that started the session. Unless
initialized by the application, the FlashCONNECT logon screen does not start a
session.
A session ends when the FlashCONNECT application returns to the FlashCONNECT
application that called it. When the session ends, the FlashCONNECT connection is
available for use by any authorized user.
Session Tracking Problem
The language of the World Wide Web is Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is where the World Wide Web is based. HTTP is a
stateless protocol, meaning it does not track information about successive
communications. See the session tracking problem illustrated below.
