| Session storage API package

Related topics
The methods of the wwsto_api_session API package provide access to a server-side, session-based, storage mechanism that can be used to store small amounts of information for short durations of time. When the user's session ends, this information is automatically removed from the system. Note: It is recommended that provider implementations do not exist in the same schema as Oracle Portal. Therefore, calls to load_session and drop_session methods must be prefixed by the Oracle Portal owner schema, e.g. portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session. The Portal owner schema must also be prefixed whenever a session object is defined, e.g. l_user_obj portal30.wwsto_api_session. This topic presents method names and descriptions and reference topics.

Notes
A session is an uninterrupted connection between a browser and Oracle Portal, from initial access to log off or disconnect. The session is established as a public session upon initial access. It becomes an authenticated session at login.
