web service/shared variable question

[russellbcopeland]

I have a web service.

It has a class that has a shared property that is set when a user calls the service

That value may be different for different users

There are two different users making two separate calls to the web service going to see the same shared variable? I am working on the assumption that the answer is no and that the values are separated by their sessions.

Am I wrong?

New user
New session
New everything

turns out that I am incredibly wrong..

we did this as a test:

a simple web service that contains a shared variable

web method that increments this value and returns its value

called the method from two different locations (one in ATL and one in VA so not same session etc)

and the values returned reflected each others incrementng...


oh well... another reason why shared/global values are just plain bad to use

So shared variables are shared accross sessions?

That's awesome! Specificly in a mixed client environment. Great find.
