The requirements for programming an AppServer for session-managed applications differ among the available operating modes, state-reset, state-aware, and stateless. However, all of them provide some means to manage session context internally on behalf of clients that are physically connected to the session-managed AppServer. The remaining sections in this chapter indicate where a feature's function or availability depends on the operating mode. However, in general, the main differences affect how you can manage client connection context for each mode. For more information on the session-managed application model, in general, and how the different operating modes support it, see
