    Using Object Container to transport persistent objects between multiple pages

    We have talked already what are the best ways to handle the object scope instance in stateless environments like the Web in previous blog posts. We will build up on this and demonstrate additional web techniques, starting with using the same persistent objects on different pages (state sharing). Who needs that? Well let me explain a rather simplified scenario (but a valid one) – web-based wizard. Wizards usually have a workflow, which is produced by connecting web pages in a meaningful way.

Ideally, the business logic should not be concerned if it is running in a connected world (where the database can be directly contacted) or in a remote/disconnected tier (where no database can be accessed). The business logic should just find the same API to compile against so that it could be running in both scenarios. This is what the...
