Keep data between sessions

Navigation
6

I have an ASP.Net MVC project where I generate a report that requires a lot of the machine's processing feature.

I have a Action that generates and another that returns the report data in an Object List, so I thought that by creating a static variable, I could save the data in the report and return it as needed. 

private static List<MeuObjeto> DadosRelatorio = new List<MeuObjeto>();
public ActionResult MinhaAction ()
{
    // Limpando dados que já estavam.
    if (DadosRelatorio.Count() > 0)
    {
        DadosRelatorio.Clear();
    }

    ...
    // Preenchendo DadosRelatorio
    ...
}
public ActionResult OutraAction ()
{
  return Json(DadosRelatorio, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

The problem is that when 2 or more users simultaneously generate a report, the data in one overwrites another.

I thought that when creating a static variable the framework itself would manage a variable for each on the server, but that is not the case, the same variable is for every user.

Is there an alternative?

In fact, the static variable can not be used. You need to create a session-based caching system or at least keep the information within the same session. 

public ActionResult MinhaAction() {
    Session["relatorioX"] = MontaRelatorio();
    ...
}
public ActionResult OutraAction() {
  return Json(Session["relatorioX"], JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

The MontaRelatorio() probably returns a List<MeuObjeto> .

This is obviously a simplification, errors can occur if used like this but does what you were doing keeping the data per session rather than maintaining per instance of the application.

I believe that in this case you can use TempData instead of Session with no problems.

I do not know if this fits all needs but solves the problem according to what was specified in the question.

I would avoid putting a large amount of data between sessions but it is a simple solution.

This answer in SO has a solution with caching. Another using the framework cache system itself.

ASP.Net Core has a more flexible new cache system (4)).

One suggestion: Use different names for reports based on user identifiers (if applicable), where you can, via a BATCH that runs 1x a day, delete the oldest reports based on your dates (if applicable) .

In this way you will have "user-dependent" reports, obviously not dependent on perennial variables.
