Application needs to work in single and multiple webserver environment

[bruce barker]

inproc sessions won't work on a webfarm.

if you use sqlserver mode, you can schedule (thru sqlagent) a stored proc to
run that deletes old sessions.

Thanks bruce. But, Is creating a temporary xml file based
on user session on the webserver in clustered web farm is
a problem?

Hi,

the xml file wont be accessible from all servers in the webfarm but if
you will save the xml file for the first time on ant server on the farm
it will be available for other request on the same machine.
if you just want to save one copy of the temporary file you could do
what other told you and keep it on state machine or SQL server.
