Session and Requests

[Andreas Zita]

Hi!

I'm trying to make an xml-log of application, session and requests of my asp
..net app.

I was trying this layout:

<Application start="..." end="...">
<Session start="" end="">
<Request>
<UserDomain />
<... />
</Request>
<Request />
<... />
</Session>
</Application>

But apparently the session-object is started _after_ the first request. What
am I missing? Any recommendations here?

Thanks!

Try writing this in the Session Start event handler in the Global.ASAX
file.

Try writing this in the Session Start event handler in the Global.ASAX
file.

This is how Im doing it now (simplified):

protected void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
XmlElement currLogApp = log.CreateElement("Application");
log.DocumentElement.AppendChild(currLogApp);
Application["LogApp"] = currLogApp;
}

protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
XmlElement currLogSess =
((XmlDocument)Application["Log"]).CreateElement("Session");
((XmlElement)Application["LogApp"]).AppendChild(currLogSess);
Application["LogSession"] = currLogSess;
}

protected void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
XmlElement request =
((XmlDocument)Application["Log"]).CreateElement("Request");
((XmlElement)Application["LogSession"]).AppendChild(request); // Here is
the problem!
}

But Application["LogSession"]) is null when the request begins since the
session hasnt started yet.

How can I know which Session a certain Request is bound to? Or isnt a
Request bound to a Session at all? Is my approach wrong?
