"receiver of session is nil"

[AxiNat]

Hi list,

When a session has expired and I try to access my app, I get a "receiver of session is nil" error (I just ignore it and re-try to access the app, then it works).

Is there something I'm doing wrong? How should one handle session expiration?

Thanks!

Bernat Romagosa.

Hi,

Which version number of Iliad is it ?

I tried it on 0.9.1.1, and it works.

Best regards,

Some code at where the error occurs might be helpful for us.

By the way, the documentation's "Managing sessions" section is very helpful.
Here is how to handle session expirations:

My version is 0.9.1-SA.

I've just tried to inspect a currently active session, run self expire then access the website.

Here's the whole stack dump: http://pastie.org/1707998

Maybe I should add I'm running in debugMode, in deploymentMode (of course) I don't get any error, but I still got to refresh the page to access it.

I think I just found out what was going on...

I was checking whether the visitor was using IE in my ILApplication >> index as follows:

index

^ [ :h | 

self context request nativeRequest isFromMSIE

ifTrue: [ h html: self ieUserPage ]

ifFalse: [ h build: self pageStructure ] ]

I changed it to:

index

^ [ :h | 

(self session user isNil and: [ self context request nativeRequest isFromMSIE ])

ifTrue: [ h html: self ieUserPage ]

ifFalse: [ h build: self pageStructure ] ]

And now it seems to work as expected when the session expires.

Cheers,

Bernat.

Oops sorry, false alarm! That was not the issue...

Excuse the mail bombing... this error is really bugging me:

findOrMakeSessionFor: aRequest

"Answer a valid session for <aRequest>.

Create a new session if no session is found"

| session id |

id := self sessionIdFromRequest: aRequest.

session := sessions at: id ifAbsent: [^self newSession].

session isExpired 

ifFalse: [

session setModifiedTimestamp.

^session] 

ifTrue: [

self removeSession: session.

^self session]

When the session is expired, we remove it, and then return self session, but:

session

^self context session

When I debug it, self context returns nil, so I guess there's the source of the problem, but I couldn't dig deeper because I don't understand how ILCurrentContext works :(

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks again!

Bernat.

IIRC it works this way so the expiring session has a chance to handle
the request and you can trigger some action and display infos to the
user.

See ILApplicationHandler>>handleRequest and ILSession>>onExpire

Cheers,

Thanks Nico, I managed to understand it and fix it. I was not implementing onExpire the right way :)
