The temporary session contains the temporary Active WEBDEV Page context. When the Active WEBDEV Page is sent to the Web user, the temporary page context and the temporary session are destroyed. There is nothing left in memory on the server. The temporary Active WEBDEV Page context contains all elements that have been required to build the page viewed by the Web user: • local variables, • server processes, • database connections, • contexts of data files, etc. When the Active WEBDEV Page is sent to the Web user, these elements are destroyed.
