Sharing state variables between web applications

[W Akthar]

Hi,

I need to pass session state variables across different
web applications. Firstly is this possible and secondly
can someone show me how please??

 

[Kevin Spencer]

First, it is possible, and second, how many ways can you think of to send a
message from one application to another? Here are a few:

POST Request
GET Request
Windows Messaging Services
Web Services
Remoting
SMTP
FTP
Telnet
HTTP
etc...

Anyway, I hope you get the idea.

Hi there,

See my post on 9/16/2004 I asked this very question. It turns out in my
case I could not share state across apps, so what I did was I built an
encrypted token system that passed a token around from one application to
the next whenever the user wanted to go. I then created a "welcome" or
entrance page for each app and on this page I decrypt the token and set the
session variables for the application in question. This way each app
handles its own session data and state.

On this? Don't you mean "on these?" I did list quite a few, and mentioned
that there are others.

About all I can do is point you to the freely-downloadable .Net SDK, which
explains quite a lot and has samples of doing much of it:
