I have the functionlity in which on every user click, system needs to retrieve information for particular user and display the page according to the retrieved information. Now question is which is the scalable solution? (1) Retrieve information from the database on each user click. (2) Retrieve information from the session (here information is retrieved once and stored in the session file on the server, when user logs into the system) Please let me know Thanks Hardik __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
