Stateful Design
The stateful design gives each client its own session context in an ASO process. With such a persistent context, server-side object data and session variables can be created that are private to each client. The stateful design alternative offers richer development and deployment possibilities.
Note:  The stateful approach enabled by ASOLib can be used in conjunction with a stateless architecture; that is, an application that uses ASOLib session context and BPMs can also contain stand-alone stateless SCPs and GSCPs.
