why don't you serizlie the session objects and store them in rdmbs, memcached, etc? I use the term "seralize" and "deserialize" to mean the deconstruction of "sessionObject" to a sequence of bytes, and reverse construction from a sequece of bytes to "sessionObject" respectively. for serialization, you can use any famouse libraries like "boost::serialization" or create a converter that can achive this kind of thing by yourself if the structure of "sessionObject" is simple enough.
