Hi

I try to setup a multi-module application. DesktopExtensions seems to work, but now I'm looking for a best practice related to ClientSessions, SwtEnvironemt etc.

May each module have its own ClientSession? (or ist the CleintSession a singleton)
What's about SwtEnvironment...one environment for all extensions or each extension with its own environment?

Hi René,

Typically you will only have one Client Session and One SWT Environment per session which is created by the module with inits (The SWT application or the entry point for RAP).
Generally speaking you shouldn't be worried about the SWT Environment since it will be provided to your widgets (assuming that you are creating your own custom widget?) and you just can use it.

For the Client Session as well that is a way to get the current Client Session by ClientJob.getCurrentSession().

João

Hi João

Thanks for the quick reply. The problem was, that I'm refactoring some existing cdoe. and in the (generated ?) ui-swt-Activator classes the SWTEnvironment is instantiated (and therein the sessions).

One (last...) question: what's about ServerSession? as well only one ??

thanks

Hi,

I haven't yet used the ServerSession so I'm not the best person to answer you.
But I would assume it should take the same idea as the ClientSession..

I'll guess it starts to work now in our setup - I also re factored the ServerSession.

Question to the Scout Masters Wink

Wouldn't it make sense to have a similar mechanism with the Sessions as we have it with the Desktop? in other words having a Core(Client/Server)Session and SessionExtensions per module?
I did something in this direction, pls let me know if this makes sense in the "big scout picture"

best regards
Rene
