[Zope] Sessions with Zope 2.5.0b3 and SiteRoot ?

[Chris McDonough]

Hi Markus,

First of all, before you do much work with Zope 2.5b3, please upgrade to
Zope 2.5b4.  There is a bug in the session code that will bite you when you
go to upgrade.  See
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.5.0b4/zope_250b4_release/workaround.
It's best to get this over with.

There's no real easy way right now to cause Zope to make a new transient
data container somewhere else at startup..

You can use the existing transient data container object if you like. I
don't believe that you need a temp folder in the site root.  The temp_folder
in the root can be used (as well as the transient data container that is
automagically created in it) via acquisition.
