[Zope] RE: CST and disappearing variables (still)

[Chris McDonough]

It'd be useful to have a log of session activity for session start and end
(use the sessioning onStart and onEnd mechanisms to do this) as well as a
log method to use before you access a session data object.. you could make a
couple external methods that log session events to the STUPID_LOG.

An onstart script follows:

def sessionOnStart(self, sdo):
    sdm = self.SDM
    isnew = sdm.isTokenNew()
    sd_sid = sdo.id
    sd_pyid = id(sdo)
    s = "%s pyid %s sid %s" % (isnew and 'new token ' or '',
                               sd_pyid, sd_sid)
    from zLOG import LOG, INFO
    LOG('Session onStart', INFO, s)

An onend script follows:

def sessionOnEnd(self, sdo):
    from zLOG import LOG
    LOG('Session info', zLOG.INFO, 'Session sid %s ending' % sdo.id)

Additionally, before you access any sessioning stuff in your code it would
be useful to call a logging method like this:

def logSessionInfo(self, sdm, from=''):
    sdo = sdm.getSessionData()
    isnew = sdm.isTokenNew()
    sd_sid = sdo.id
    sd_pyid = id(sdo)
    sd_len = len(sdo)
    s = "%s pyid %s sid %s len%s" % (isnew and 'new token ' or '',
                                     sd_pyid, sd_sid, sd_len)
    from zLOG import LOG, INFO
    LOG('Session info (%s)' % from, INFO, s)

Use this method like so from dtml *before* every call to your sessioning
machinery.

 <dtml-call "logSessionInfo(SDM, 'test method')">

When you run into a situation where you suspect a sessioning problem, send
me the relevant time period from the logfile (set via STUPID_LOG_FILE).
