Abstract

An implicit session system with an object state cache. The implicit sessioning avoids explicitly passing session parameters in each function call to an object by implicitly associating the session context to a session object with each loaded object related to the session so that each function call runs with the session context of the called object. The object state cache minimizes the system resource impact of having multiple instances of an object in different sessions by sharing one copy of each respective unique object state in an object state cache.
