Yes true, I do not expect CakePHP to add any data to session for me...I guess I thought that if I do a $this->set() or $this->data, it will be automatically saved for me and accessible in other requests...now I know it is a wrong assumption (: Thanks for the $this->Sessison->write() tip. Thanks

Hi everyone: I guess I thought CakePHP will have an easy way to store data between client requests for the same controller class, but it sounds like there isn't a built-in way (via $this->set or $this->data) and I have to store the info into the session myself... Is this conclusion correct? tha

I don't know what your application flow looks like and what needs to be invoked in which order. You usually want to keep it simple though and only work within one action during a sinlge request. function methodA() { $this->data = $this->__processData(); } function __processData() {

Hi Jaime: I tried your suggestion but it didn't work, probably because the calls to these 2 methods are from 2 separate client requests. To answer your last question: methodA shows a form and handles the form by calling a web services to retrieve information. methodB is intended to display the

I'm assuming you're not calling methodA and methodB from the same request from what you've said above. Really depends on the type and amount of data you're talking about... you could save the data into the session variable in methodA and pick it up in methodB during a subsequent request. Or you
