Abstract
A method performed by a computing system is described. The method involves receiving a deployment descriptor that specifies a persistence scope that is external to the computing system. The method also involves, as a consequence of the receiving, instantiating a plug-in for a database that is external to the computing system. The method also involves, over the course of a session, managing the persistence of the session's session state information in said database by, with program code provided by the plug-in, translating a first command that is not specific to the database into a second command that is specific to the database. The session state information comprises a plurality of attributes. The first command is to cause a process to be performed. The process is selected from the group consisting of: storing in the database one of the attributes; and, retrieving from the database one of the attributes.
