The session only stores an object reference anyway. I think what's being suggested is to store a (primary) key in the session for easy DB lookup. I think which approach you choose depends on your app. I have an app where I store a reference to the SA user object in the session and this works fine for me. The trick is that you have to do `Session.merge (session['user'])` (or something to that effect) at the beginning of each request. > Does this not require querying the database all the time for > information on this object?
