Session variables.....

[rookie_student]

I was wondering if it was possible to store objects in session variables using ASP, like in JSP where you could define the scope of a usebean. That way I could have a presistant connection or recordset. But I've only heard of sessions that store String values.

Ex.
dim objCon
dim objRec

set objCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
set objRec = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

objCon. .................
objCon.connect

objRec.open blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Session("Recordset") = objRec '/OR Set Session("Recordset") = objRec

I'm going to try it after I get off work!!
Any ideas?

It is not advisable to store objects use by session in session variables.

If you want to store an object b/w sessions, do it at the global.asa file

<OBJECT RUNAT=Server SCOPE=Session ID=sobjAdocn PROGID="Adodb.Connection">
REM Object Script
</OBJECT>

That way, anytime you point to sobjadocn, you will be referring to the adodb.connection object.

Session variables are evil! They hold up server perfomance degration. Moreover using cookies have vulnerables, does anyone has known or used a better way to do things but better method?
