New and changed objects in the Session Management module.

Data

The SessionControl pattern contains only one data entity:

• The Session entity stores the Session records and defines Session views and scoped functions.

Abstract

The Abstract entity contains the three main Websydian patterns enhanced with functionality to implement Session Control:

• The EventDispatcher pattern is enhanced with the SessionID as input and Session validation.  The scoped CallFirstPageGenerator function is enhanced with Session initialization functionality.
• The PageGenerator pattern implements Session functionality for Page Generator functions.
• The EventHandler pattern implements Session functionality for Event Handler functions.

Services

• The WebEndUserSession function implements an Event Handler function closing the active Session.

Other Functions

A number of other functions are included in or used by the SessionControl pattern.  These are either unscoped functions or scoped under the Session entity views:

• CreateSession
