DataServiceRequestException with TableStorageSessionStateProvider

2.1k views Asked by At

I'm trying to use the TableStorageSessionStateProvider from the Azure training kit. I can use the example without problems but when I use it in my web app, I get this exception:

System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceRequestException occurred
  Message=An error occurred while processing this request.

I've tried this, but no luck so far.I've also seen null reference exceptions happening, so I guess that the TableStorageSessionStateProvider it's not behaving like the InProc one, so maybe I have to check how sessions are being used in the application. But, what could be the problem ?

EDIT: Well, I've find out that the example in the Azure training kit also fails if you only use the TableStorageSessionStateProvider with the same exception. You just have to comment the other providers:

  <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" timeout="2880" />

If you want to know why you're getting this error with the TableStorageSessionProvider see my answer to this question. If you want to know about the using the SQL session provider in Azure see the answer to this question.

If you need to use something today, you're only real choice is to use the SQL session provider even though it's not supported. Once AppFabric Caching is out of CTP it will be the way to go.
