You would probably have to implement the session interface on both
sides. It could be fairly easy to implement sessions if you make a few
assumptions, like a session will be a single hash with no complex
structures or objects in it. A simple serialization scheme would then
be possible for both languages (maybe use an existing XML one). You can
use a database for persistent storage from both sides.
