Re: mod_plsql, mod_ose questions

I think OSE is being desupported. Oracle are trying to push towards OC4J.

As for your problem could you just have one hidden field which was a reference to a table containing session related data?

ie when a user logs on give them a session number from a sequence and place that as a hidden field in a form.
Then have a table with columns session_id,

                                                field_name,
                                                field_value,
                                                date_expires
