The SessionWithLayoutControl Pattern

Introduction     Implementing    Parts

The SessionWithLayoutControl pattern enables a Websydian application to use multiple sets of Document Templates.  Based on a Template Code, the Document Template from the corresponding folder will be selected when generating the HTML page (or WML deck) by the Websydian application.

The Layout Control pattern is itself based on the Websydian Session Management module.  In this way, the Template Code is stored with the User Session.

Websydian Layout Control may also be used in WAP applications to comply with the fact that the WML browsers built into WAP devices from different vendors differ in their interpretation of the WML standard.
