Web Object States

The basic building blocks for all WebSpeed applications are Web objects. There are two states that can apply to Web objects:

Stateless Web objects are run and destroyed within a single web request. The WebSpeed Agent which services them retains no context for the next time it runs the object.

State-aware Web objects maintain context running persistently on a locked WebSpeed Agent. The locked Agent is dedicated to the requesting client browser and awaits a response only from that browser until a specified time-out period has passed.

NOTE: Of the three basic types of Web objects, you can only make CGI Wrapper and HTML-mapping Web objects state-aware. Embedded SpeedScript Web objects can run as stateless Web objects on a locked Agent, but cannot themselves lock an Agent. They lack the method procedures and structure required to interact with the Agent control program.
