Hi Andy,

The ASP session object is quick and easy but it doesnt scale well at all due to it being a memory hog and it isnt an enterprise-wide solution for security reasons.

But, definately need some "canned" ZOPE solutions to describe how to a) handle session via something like a session object and b) show the bonus of decreased memory usage and increased security with a ZOPE session "object"...

There are many session products for Zope. One is CoreSessionTracking, which can operate in "ASP mode" (e.g. chew up all the memory on your machine and don't allow for a clustered solution without a session affinity manager), or it can alternately use the ZODB for more sane memory consumption and clustering via ZEO. Its documentation explains in lots of detail how it helps.
