Hi Abhilash,

I think there is nothing like session variable in salesforce, but you can use cookies to store your data.

If that's not possible, kindly provide the type and volume of data you want to store.

there are some id's i need to exchange. between pages during a single session.
can i create any gloabal varialble and reference it with $.

Yes, you can do that, but if you navigate to the different page, you might lose the values. better you set the cookie and read it in any page you want.

but if some one clears cokie or cokies are blocked. then data can not be accessed

You can set them as session cookies, they can not be blocked, because if they are blocked, salesforce itself will not function.

Hi Abhilash,

Skip the expire part from the cookie definition to creat the cookie.

I have read that by using the virtual class and page controllers u can share data among pages. could this approach be helpful im mantaing a gloabal data set and sharing between different pages.
