Single login and single threaded models - Java and PHP
On Apache Tomcat courses, I find myself explaining "single login" models and on some Java courses I explain single threaded models. In both cases, there are times that newcomers to the technologies ask "does it matter".
Answer - for a small and quiet application suite, probably not - but as the application suite grows, a single login to cover all applications is a boon to your users, and in contrast the single threaded model should be avoided as it will limit traffic - keeping users waiting at the "starting gate" until the previous visitor to the application has completed his current interaction. We have developed a number of applications for internal use here at Well House Consultants and Well House Manor over the years that rely on staff members logging in to get [full] use of the application code, and I am in process of applying a single login model to them retrospectively ... since they're internal, I'm afraid I can't publish log in details to give you a demonstration, but I can give you some pointers.
What applications are we serving with the system so far? Our Staff Resources Front Page (where extra links are provided for staff who are logged in) Our hotel room availability page (if you're not logged in, you just get a room status report and an invitation to book. When logged in, we can see details of room allocation right down to the staff member on duty being given a checklist of anticipated arrival times!) Our new incident book system through which we report anything from breakages to notes of customer preferences between ourselves - the public facing pages are read only, and only show items we have chosen to mark "public". Our wiki (sample page) that is extensively used for both internal and customer facing pages that change frequently. Our traffic monitor (last 5 minutes) and most popular pages (last 24 hours) reports reveal more information to logged in staff And our security monitor page - when logged in suitably, certain team members can view the web cams. If not logged in, You'll see a display of some static photographs instead.
