Never trust what you see in Seaside:
WASession->application
^parent
WASession owns the instance variables 'parent' and 'application' and for some unknown reason the user is fooled by the above code - of course without any explanation as always.
This is so extremely insane and it's only one out of many similar imbecillities in Seaside!
Now this seems like a little problem but in reality it is (and was for me) a very big problem, because this stupid Seaside bug was the reason for many wasted hours searching a bug that I thought to be in our own code.
The background: We had to introduce 'release' methods to ensure proper garbage collection. One of these was also removing the dependency between aWASession and its holder WAApplication. This is where we were so baldy fooled, because "self application" did not answer what it pretended.
You are lost in Seaside if you don't read all of the code that you are calling! Disgusting! This is the first such library that I have ever come about where one is forced to really control and read all of the (completely undocumented) code!
If the law of karma really exists, then these insane stupid Seaside developers will have to suffer badly in their next lives for what they did to their users and how they wasted our time!
These coding sins in Seaside are screaming for a most humbly "I beg your pardon, please forgive us!" to all those who were fooled by this amateurish junk code!
