[CompStrm Wiki] the session object

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

When a client program communicates with the AwServer,
it must always include a sessionId.

SessionIds are mapped by the Portal object to session
objects. If there is no session object, a new one is
created.

The session object is responsible for tracking the
active Form object(s), the selected User Interface
model object, the validated user name, the current
context (selected rolon and time) and a table of
selectors mapping selection strings to rolon Ids
(rids). And anything else that is needed that is not
handled by the active form object.

As the session object is a catchall for a range of
things, the API is a bit on the messy side. But a lot
of its methods are convenience methods which simply
call methods on other objects or accessor methods for
the data it maintains.
