Hi all, I new at this list, my name is Johan Carlsson.
I been wondering about user-session in Zope.
How is the session-feature in Zope implemented? Is it using Cookies?
Hello Johan. The idea of a Zope sessions is not the kind of session your talking about here. In the next release, 1.11, Sessions will be called Versions to clear up this confusion and to free up the object namespace so we can support "real" sessions like your asking about. What Zope calls Sessions (Versions) let you work in an area of your Zope system and edit/break/change it without the changes being reflected to anyone else until you save the session (version). The kind of Sessions it sounds like your looking for are not implimented yet. There are some very sticky issues that need to be thought out completely. We don't like to impliment solutions without making sure that the solution is general enough to be uselful in all problem domains. This kind of thinking is why Zope is so cool in the first place. For now, if you want to keep session-like information laying around you'll need to home grow your own based on whatever mechanism you prefer. Please be sure to let us know what kind of system you come up with so we can consider it in our implimentation of "real" Sessions. It looks like John Jarvis posted an interesting Cookie Cutter Product this morning, you might want to look into that (I haven't yet). -Michel
Can I use it for user-session with anonymous users to remember user-session-data, or are the a better way to implement it (raw-cookies?).
I am usually using Microsoft's IIS/ASP with the application- and session objects which is quite convenient.
