Hi, I have a strange problem. Scenario: When loading an x page. I am making an ajax call in jQuery to server 'latest' action. Now, when I set a session in 'latest' action. To check check created session I made another ajax request to same 'latest' action.

Here created session is nil. code: --------------------------sample.js------------------------------ $("#latest\_activities").load("#{latest\_activities\_path}");

$('.get-activities').click(function(){ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;//ajax request to latest\_activities\_path &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;});

def latest &nbsp;&nbsp;p session['test'] &nbsp;&nbsp;session['test'] = 'test' end

I did got why it is not persisted.

Thanks, Aashish
