dataReceivers and lazy scrapes
RemoteScraping sessions in lazy mode drop the connection between client and server after the scrape is started. This makes it impossible to pass session variables back and forth. Does this severed connection also affect the use of the dataReciever/session.sendDataToClient() interface?
If not I notice that dataReciever can recieve objects of type 'Object'. Does this include any type of object or just primitives and their respective wrappers? Maybe it's some sort of Java cleverness I'm just not sure how an object with methods, fields and all could be represented in a serial stream of data?
btw I'm using Java as the client.
About the Objects, yes-- an
About the Objects, yes-- an "Object" is Java's highest notion of a datatype. So, a primitive isn't an Object, but Integer is, as is any other data structure.
I might have to call on Todd or Scott about the connection issue you mention. I might venture to guess that this behavior is normal, since it is intended to make use of the dataReceiver and sendDataToClient methods. That being said, I remember that for non-lazy remote sessions you can get variables, but I have not experimented otherwise.
