    Subject: [wsia][wsrp-interfaces] Entities and Sessions


    In mulling over the recent discussions, I'm wondering if we mostly are
    tripping over terms again. The thing we have been calling an entity seems
    to represent the logic that generates output & deals with user interactions
    relative to the current state. As such it is neither transient nor
    persistent, though references to such a thing can be ... perhaps the API
    should be createEntityRef(bPersist, ...). Likewise, the thing we have been
    calling a session seems to represent a storage mechanism where an entity
    should keep user specific state. The scope desired for such a thing could
    range from a pair of invocations (what would state mean with only a single
    invocation?) to persistent. Since session is so strongly tied to a
    transient storage mechanism for todays web app developers, perhaps the API
    would be cleaner if it were createDataScope or createStateScope.
    
    Anyway .... thoughts to ponder.
