[jira] Updated: (MODPYTHON-59) Add get_session() method to request object

["Graham Dumpleton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-59?page=all ]

Graham Dumpleton updated MODPYTHON-59:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: Session.py.diff.txt

For posterity, attaching patch for an alternate way of dealing with this problem of locked Session objects and req.internal_redirect(). This actually avoids any changes to the request object itself, with all code changes in Session code. This was presented on developers mailing list. See:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/python-dev@httpd.apache.org/msg00254.html

Experimentation with this idea still needed.

> Users will get session instances by calling req.get_session(). If a session already exists it will be returned, otherwise a new session instance will be created. Session configuration will be handled using apache directives rather than within their code.
> Using this scheme means only one session instance will be created per request, which will eliminate the deadlock problems many people experience. Also, using this scheme makes it possible for sessions to be properly handled within psp pages and across req.internal_redirect() calls.
> Code will be commited to svn shortly.
