Hi - It would be really nice to have the session store class and session
classes fully configurable from the Application.config file. Currently
Webware is limited to the included Memory/File/Dynamic setting which is
translated into ("Session%sStore" % setting) and used to import the
store. Then the session class is hard-coded as Session in the Application.
What do you think of having config settings for importing custom session
stores and session classes for use by the app? I built a custom store
for one application that happens to use MySQL as the back-end, coupled
with a custom Session object, and I have to jump through some hoops to
get the app to use them.
It could be as simple as four new config settings:
SessionStoreModule
SessionStoreClass
SessionModule
SessionClass
The Application object could do the same process it does now to import
SessionXxxStore. Something like this (rough, untested):
CURRENT:
# For session store:
sessionStore = 'Session%sStore' % self.setting('SessionStore')
exec 'from %s import %s' % (sessionStore, sessionStore)
klass = locals()[sessionStore]
assert isinstance(klass, ClassType) or issubclass(klass, Object)
self._sessions = klass(self)
NEW:
# For session store:
exec 'from %s import %s' % (self.setting('SessionStoreModule'),
self.setting('SessionStoreClass'))
klass = locals()[self.setting('SessionStoreClass')]
assert isinstance(klass, ClassType) or issubclass(klass, Object)
self._sessions = klass(self)
# For session class:
exec 'from %s import %s' % (self.setting('SessionModule'),
self.setting('SessionClass'))
klass = locals()[self.setting('SessionClass')]
self._session = klass
If there is interest in this, I can whip up a patch. I can include
support for the current "SessionStore" param as well, rather than force
a change to config files.
Thanks - Ben
