Oracle CRM On Demand Stateful and Stateless Request Support

Oracle CRM On Demand offers two different mechanisms to manage the allocation of resources to users who are interacting with Oracle CRM On Demand through Web services:

  • Stateless requests

  • Stateful session management

Stateless Web services transactions are those in which the client application does not need to maintain a session identifier (a JSESSIONID value) to perform multiple requests to Oracle CRM On Demand using the same session. Stateless Web services transactions are ideally suited for situations in which an interactive application is used to integrate with Oracle CRM On Demand.

Stateful Web services transactions require the client application to maintain and provide a session identifier (a JSESSIONID value) to perform multiple requests to Oracle CRM On Demand using the same session. Subsequent requests with the session identifier do not require reauthentication.
