Suspend activity session qualifier

When the invocation is synchronous, the suspend activity session qualifier determines whether the client will propagate the activity session to the referenced component.

By default, activity session context is always propagated to a target component when it is invoked using the synchronous programming model.

If the client does not want a target component to federate with the client’s activity session, further qualification of the reference is required using the suspend activity session qualifier.

Location: The suspend activity session qualifier is set on a reference.

Settings: The suspend activity session qualifier can have these settings:

• False (default) - The target component's methods that are invoked using this reference will run as a part of any client activity session, but only if the target component also joins any client activity session.
• True - The target component's methods that are invoked using this reference will not run as part of any client activity session.

Programming notes

The suspend activity session qualifier is ignored if the invocation occurs using any of the asynchronous interaction styles. The client activity session is not propagated if the client uses any asynchronous interaction styles. This reference qualifier is also ignored if the invocation occurs outside the scope of an activity session.

This qualifier does not affect the activity session environment of the target component. That is, the target component’s hosting container is still entirely responsible for providing the activity session environment that is required by the implementation.
