ssjs_getClientID

语法

描述

Each time you call ssjs_generateClientID, the runtime engine returns a new identifier. For this reason, if you use this function and want the identifier to last longer than a single client request, you need to store the identifier, possibly as a property of the client object.

If you use this function and store the ID in the client object, you may need to be careful that an intruder cannot get access to that ID and hence to sensitive information.

An alternative approach is to use the ssjs_getClientID function. If you use one of the server-side maintenance techniques for the client object, the JavaScript runtime engine generates and uses a identifier to access the information for a particular client/application pair.

When you use these maintenance techniques, ssjs_getClientID returns the identifier used by the runtime engine. Every time you call this function from a particular client/application pair, you get the same identifier. Therefore, you do not need to store the identifier returned by ssjs_getClientID. However, if you use any of the other maintenance techniques, this function returns "undefined"; if you use those techniques you must instead use the ssjs_generateClientID function.

If you need an identifier and you're using a server-side maintenance technique, you probably should use the ssjs_getClientID function. If you use this function, you do not need to store and track the identifier yourself; the runtime engine does it for you. However, if you use a client-side maintenance technique, you cannot use the ssjs_getClientID function; you must use the ssjs_generateClientID function.
