xdmp.setSessionField( name as String, value as Sequence ) as Sequence
  Sets the value of a named session field for the session created
  by the xdmp:login function. 
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| name | The name of the session field. | 
| value | The value of the session field. If you pass in a single value, it is treated as a Sequence with that single item; therefore, if you pass in an array, the array is treated as a single value (not as one value for each item in the array). If you mean to pass in the values of each item in the array, then you can call xdmp.arrayValues on the array. |

You can use the xdmp:get-session-field-names function
  to return the names of the fields in the session and the
  xdmp:get-session-field function
  to return a value set in a session field.
If you set a session or server field to a value that comes from a
  database node (for example, from the value of a search or the 
  fn:doc function), then that session or server field expires
  after the request time limit (10 minutes by default). These fields expire 
  because they contain references to stands in the database, and as long as
  those references exist the stand cannot be reclaimed (merged).  To keep
  such a node in a session or server field, make a copy of the node
  before adding it to the session or server field instead of using the node 
  directly from the database.

=> "marklogic"
