Interface SessionAttributeValue

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleSessionAttributeValue

public interface SessionAttributeValue

The interface for static session attribute values configured from XML.

These are the value objects corresponding to the static session attributes. Static session attributes can be specified in the session configuration file. These attributes will be instantiated once when the data service resource is created and will then be present in every session created by the session manager of the data service resource.

A SessionAttributeValue may initialise itself using the content of its corresponding sessionAttribute element from a session configuration file.
