296 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
• client-cookie —Specifies that the JavaScript runtime engine on the
server should use the Netscape cookie protocol to transfer the
properties of the client object and their values to the client. It creates
one cookie per client property. The properties are sent to the client
once, in the response header of the generated HTML page.
• client-url —Specifies that the runtime engine on the server should
transmit the properties of the client object and their values to the client
by appending them to each URL in the generated HTML page.
Consequently, the properties and their values are sent as many times as
there are links on the generated HTML page, resulting in the largest
increase in network traffic of all of the maintenance techniques.
• server-ip —Specifies that the server should index the data structure
based on the application and the client’s IP address. This technique is
the fastest, because it does not require sending any information to the
client. Since the index is based on both the application and the IP
address, this technique creates a separate index for every application/
client pair running on the server.
• server-cookie —Specifies that the server should use a long unique
name, generated by the runtime engine, to index the data structure on
the server. The runtime engine uses the Netscape cookie protocol to
store the generated name as a cookie on the client. It does not store the
property names and values as cookies. For this reason, this technique
creates a single cookie, whereas the client-cookie technique creates a
separate cookie for each property of the client object.
• server-url —Specifies that the server should use a long unique name,
generated by the runtime engine, to index the data structure on the
server. In this case, rather than making that generated name be a cookie
on the client, the server appends the name to each URL in the generated
HTML page. Consequently, the name is sent as many times as there are
links on the generated HTML page. (Property names and values are not
appended to URLs, just the generated name.)
