Session Manager with i3/Awesome/Xmonad?

Hello, First post here so let me know if I am doing anything wrong,
I recently started using i3 and I could not recommend it more, I have given xmonad a shot and was a big fan and I know a lot of people seem to like Awesome, my only question is...
Are there any session managers that would work for any of them?
I love them but I spend a lot of time getting things just right so I have a nice flow at work (I loooooove i3 once I have everything where I want it). Before switching to xmonad from xfce4 I always had my work from office session, my work from home session, and one or two others. Anyone know of any way to save sessions in one of the mentioned window managers? Or are there any other window managers I should look into for this feature?
Thanks!!

I think this session thing is about stopping the applications in a way that you can start them again.
1. Different users/computers - It's very static and doesn't really scale.
2. Any X11 Session Manager - You have to log out of X11 and you can only have one session open.
3. My super script - For sessions on a tag/workspace level. Sorry for the bad english and bash. I'm about to rewrite it, it will support i3 and openbox. But maybe I should wait for wayland.
I have read that systemd article more than once, but I didn't understand if it's limited to 2 or not?

Issue with session management with portal 701 AFP

Hi portal experts,
We are facing an issue with one of our portal 7 ehp1 running the AJAX framework pages.
When logging off, the DSM popup is shown and it disappears. However, the backend sessions are kept alive when we look in transaction SM12, which indicates that the backend session has not been closed (proven in transaction SM04)
The same issue arises when closing a popup window. In this case, no DSM popup is shown and the sessions are maintained as well.
Popup blockers are disabled
Portal url and backend url are in the trusted sites collection
Does this have something to do with the AJAX framework?
Does anyone have any pointers for us?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Luk

Hi Tom,
I already came across this note earlier. Currently I'm unable (not allowed) to install the httpwatch utility.
To add to the complexity, web dispatchers are used to access the portal and used between the portal and the backend systems. If I understood correctly, we need to have the ABAP Security Sessions Enabled setting turned on in this sort of landscape. Is this correct?
If it is not required, couldn't we just turn off this setting?
Thanks in advance!

Session Management with 8.01.06?

I have a web application that is connecting to an Oracle 8.01.06 database. It is using Oracle 8.01.06 drivers for the connection.
The number of open sessions is huge. This causes locking up of the web server. Can anyone point me to where I can find more information about this. Anyone else ran into this problem?

Hi,
we solved the problem!!!
in sysidcfg was an static entry for default_router!!!
We changed it => now we are happy

How WebDynpro/JCO do the session management?

Hi expert,
Current we have one R3 system as our backend system, we would like to extend it via Webdynpro java and JCO in the frontend, but we don't know how java do the session management with backend R3 system?
For example, user logon in the frontend and connect to R3 via JCO, after once calling, I would like to store somthing in R3 system so that the second calling of this user can reuse it to save time and improve performance, would it be possible to do it via JCO?
Thanks.

What is new with MAX 2.0 and is it compatible with Session Manager?

We added non-IVI instrument information in, basically the same structure as for IVI instruments,
into the ivi.ini file to keep all instrument information in the same place. Using MAX Version 1.1 caused no problems whatsoever and the system worked fine. With the advent of MAX 2.0 you seem to use ivi.ini as well as config.mxs to store instrument information. What we have found now is that given a working ivi.ini file from MAX 1.1, we end up with 2 or 3 copies of all the devices in the IVI Instruments->Devices section! When the duplicate entries are deleted and the application exited, the
ivi.ini file is updated minus the [Hardware->] sections which contain the resource descriptors that our appl
ications look for. As an added complication, under MAX 2.1 (From an evaluation of the Switch Executive) It behaves the same, except that it almost always crashes with one of the following errors. 'OLEChannelWnd Fatal Error', or 'Error#26 window.cpp line 10028 Labview Version 6.0.2' Once opened and closed MAX 2.1 will not open again! (Note we do not have LabVIEW on the system.) What is the relationship between the config.mxs and ivi.ini now? Also, your Session Manager application (for use with TestStand) extracts information from ivi.ini and may expect entries to be manually entered into ivi.ini (e.g. NISessionManager_Reset = True) i.e. Is the TestStand Session Manager compatible with MAX 2.0?

Brian,
The primary difference between MAX 1.1 and 2.x is that there is a new internal architecture. MAX 2.x synchronizes data between the config.mxs and the ivi.ini. The reason you're having trouble is that user-editing of the ivi.ini file is not supported with MAX 2.x.
Some better solutions to accomplish what you want:
1. Do as Mark Ireton suggested in his answer
2. Use the IVI Run-Time Configuration functions. They will allow you to dynamically configure your Logical Names, Virtual Instruments, Instrument Drivers, and Devices. You can then use your own format for storing and retrieving that information, and use the relevant pieces for each execution. You can find information on these functions in the IVI CVI Help file located in Start >> National I
nstruments >> IVI Driver Toolset folder. Go to the chapter on Run-time Initialization Configuration.
I strongly suggest #2, because those functions will continue to be supported in the future, while other mechanisms may not be.

Hello, I have a big problem with Firefox: Session Manager & Undo Closed Tab addons are not working, Sync Is not working. History is working. How to fix this?

Firefox remembers history but doesn't remember closed tabs, sessions.
It happened after updating Fox to v. 19.0.2 on one computer.
In Firefox Options is set Use Custom Settings For History, everything is checked except Always Use Private Browsing Mode. So I am not in private browsing.
When I press on Undo Closed Button nothing happens & in session manager Save Session Button is greyed out. I've tried installing other add-ons that can remember tabs. tried to disable/reinstall these 2 add-ons. Did't help. On my 2nd computer I have same add-ons, same settings and they are working normally. on 3rd computer undo closed tabs works also. How to fix this? I decided to ask before doing Firefox Reset...
Sync is a separate problem. It works, but quite often it logs me out of Sync account. Then I can log in only using long recovery key and password (choosing option I don't have device with me because it does not accept keys for pairing device.)
Thanks for reading.

I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

Session management in Info View with two different logins using single sign

There is a form with 2 user logins UserA and User B to redirect to infoview with sso in my application. I am able to go to each of the Infoview pages successfully but have the following problem.
User A logs in and infoview opens in a new IE window and sees his/her folders based on permissions and is able to do his/her work for the first time.
User B logs in andand infoview opens in a new IE window sees his/her folders based on permissions and is able to do his/her work for the first time.
After a while when User A tries to access the InfoView in the previously opened IE Window, he/she gets an error message. An error has occurred: The object with ID 2519 does not exist in the CMS or you don't have the right to access it.
User B is able to continue his/her work. Who ever logs in the last, he/she is able to continue his/her work but the other one gets an error.
Please let me know on how to address this issue . I added logonToken and tried everything at my hand but no success. Is this session controlled by business objects or by the jsp page. What more changes are required for my jsp page to fix the error. Attached below are the form and the applogon.jsp snippets.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Why did I lose Session Manager, as well as all my DOZENS of saved sessions (online course placemarks etc) with the upgr to 17? NEVER an issue, using FF forever

After installing latest ff (17.0) session manager was no longer installed. re-installed, but all previous sessions (as I stated dozens, with placemarks where I left off with online courses, pages with possible Christmas shopping items, etc etc) are ALL GONE. Been using FF for at least 10 years and this never happened before. Not a happy open source camper :(

Are you still using that profile where your extensions were installed?

Plugin based Web Service with session management

I am trying to make a web service in java with jax-ws that should support extensions to the service without rebuilding the project. I thought it might be possible to make a standard web service and the let each plugin create their own service, making the client side plugin point to both the standard service and the plugin specific one. This way I could have user management and such in the standard service and the more plugin specific one in an other service. The problem is though, how do I make a common session for all the services? All services are running at the same server and on the same domain name.
I checked the HTTP headers and found out that the JSESSIONID was changing when I created a new port on the client side. I was trying to implement a SOAPHandler to edit the cookie in the HTTP header, hoping that this will lead to the same session across the services. But found it hard. It was no problem reading the "Set-cookie" header, setting the cookie on the new requests was harder, as the CookieJar object seems to be internal [1]. And the MessageContext.HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS wasn't created at the time my handlers run. Is there an easy solution to this?
I am not sure if my idea is a good solution to the main problem, and all other ideas are more than welcome. I hope it is possible to extend the features of my server without rebuilding the project. If anything is unclear, feel free to ask :)

Could you explain plug in scenario with one example?Ok. We have not chosen exactly how to do this, but the idea is that someone may be able to extend the functionality of our server without rebuilding the project. We thought of something like a jar file with a implementation of some abstract classes. It should at least only be necessary to redeploy the project into the web container. The problem is; how do we let the plugins extend our web interface? One solution we thought of was to let each plugin have it's own service and dynamicly link to the plugin services from the main service that we provide as standard in our server. This way we may have some kind of plugin support on the clients as well, making the client side plugins know what kind of service it needs on the server side and thus extending the functionality all together.
Hope that explains our scenario. Feel free to comment and add new ideas :)
Regarding session management, its not advisable to manage the session in web services since that way it will become non interoperable.The documentation we found regarding sessions and jax-ws was all doing sessions with HTTPSessions, and to let the web container handle that.
On the server side
    @Resource
    private WebServiceContext wsContext;
    private HttpSession getSession() {
        MessageContext mc = wsContext.getMessageContext();
        return ((javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)mc.get(MessageContext.SERVLET_REQUEST)).getSession();
    HttpSession session = getSession();
    session.setAttribute("User", user);On the client side
((BindingProvider)port).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.SESSION_MAINTAIN_PROPERTY,true);Do you have other standard options for us on how to do session management? All ideas are more than welcome

Is it possible to use run-time configuration in conjunction with Session Manager?

I'm trying to avoid using MAX, basically because it's a pain for users to configure MAX when the application already knows what the configuration is. I actually get the configuration from a database, but that's another story. I've experimented with run-time configuration (see page 4-31 of the 'IVI Driver Toolset' manual) and it works fine. However, when I try to use this in conjunction with Session Manager, session manager complains that my logical name is not a driver session name. I suspect that Session Manager is looking up logical names from a different source, therefore run-time configuration won't work. Any suggestions? I've attached the files I'm working with.

Hello Mark:
The Session Manager GetLogicalNames method does not distiguish between logical names and virtual instrument names. A user of the method cannot ask for just logical names or just virtual instrument names. Right now you always get both. The new function is called InstrSessionMgr.GetNames. Notice that the online help file says Boolean for the flags parameter when it is an enum.
Hope this helps. If you have any further queries, please let us know.

Session management in JAX-RCP with JWSDP 1.0_01

Hi all,
How can I access to the HTTP Session of the TOMCAT which run the Web Services engine?
Browsing by the API I've found the method getHttpSession() in the interface javax.xmlrpc.server.ServletEndpointContext.
How can get an instance which implements this interface?
Regards,
C�sar.

An old thread but I have a question re session management and web services.
The documentation for ServletEndpointContext says getHttpSession returns null if there is no HTTP session currently active and associated with the service endpoint. It further says the endpoint class should not rely on the HTTP session always being there.
I need to ensure a session is active after a user successfully logs in. Other than spending alot of time implementing session management myself its the only way to tell whether the service requestor is allowed to use the service. Is the session not guaranteed to be active to take account of things like session timeout? Under normal circumstances where the user is sufficiently active to prevent timeout is it reasonable to assume the session will be there?

I have a problem with session manager session files because of the invalid json storage data submited by firefox

Hi, i have problem with session manager's session files. The problem is: the submitted storage data from firefox which is put between "storage":{ and its matching closing brace } But in some of my session files there is non equal { and } under storage's braces. I need to get storage data but in my case it is very hard to do. My question is there any char put before or after { and } like /{ or \{ to avoid confusion? If there is not such thing, i think there could be different solution but i am not sure: i look couple of my session files; after "storage":{...} there is ,_"formDataSaved" so i can get storage data in this example ... by looking between "storage":{ and ,"_formDataSaved" easily. Is there every time ,"_formDataSaved" after "storage":{ ? Thank you.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you
