Dublin Core Elements

Identifier resource ID http://old.zope.org/Members/czimmet/CookieLess
Title resource name CookieLess Session Management
Description resource summary Future versions of CookieLess can be found by clicking "here":http://www.zope.org/Members/jmunoz/CookieLess/index_html CookieLess The CookieLess product provides in memory session management via URL rewriting. To enable session tracking, you simply create a folder and put your objects under the folder. When accessing your objects for the first time a session will be created and your url will be rewritten. For example, if you create a CookieLessSessionManager folder called cookieless, then :: http://mysite/cookieless/index_html would be automatically redirected and remapped to :: http://mysite/cookieless/S__sessionid/index_html <hr> to store objects via dtml :: <dtml-call "Session.set('myVariable','somevalue')> to access myVariable in a later page :: <dtml-var myVariable> to ensure that the variable is taken exclusively from the Session object :: <dtml-with Session only> <dtml-var myVariable> </dtml-with> <hr> Notes - If any of your objects directly under the folder begin with **manage** they will not be subject to Session management. Usage - Session methods :: setTimeOut(self,minutes) - set the timeout time. creationTime(self) - returns a DateTime object set to the creation time set(self,key,value) - stores a value in the session clear(self) - clears all session variables keys(self) - returns a list of session variable keys get(self,key) - returns the value associated with a particular key items(self) - a copy of the list of (key,value) pairs has_key(self, key) - returns 1 if session has a key, else 0 Session variables :: accessedTime - the last time a session was accessed timeout - the time in minutes Session - exposes the SessionInstance more easily to dtml SESSIONROOT - The absolute url concatenated with the session id Session Folder Properties :: expiryURL - optional URL to which Session timeouts will be redirected. BypassSessionMgr - When selected turns off CookieLess Session Management. (Use with caution. Should not be used on a live site) timeout - the time in minutes before a session expires. Known Bugs - - Session Timeout thread issues a message :: currentThread(): no current thread for #### on thread startup. - Odd exception with threading in _checkExpired made me put a :: try: except: pass However, no visible impact occured in the functionality of the product. - onSessionStartup is called before an AUTHENTICATED_USER is obtained Changes - - 0.0.6b (2001/04/19) - Added setWORM to make a Session property read only - Changed name of __call__ to _newSession due to inner workings of Zope calling this method unexpectedly. - Added Thilo Ernst's change for an optional expiryURL property that is used on to redirect on session expiration - Added Thilo Ernst's change for a SESSIONROOT property - Added Thilo Ernst's fix for a missing 'tail' in the URL: # REQUEST as seen in __bobo_traverse__ # is not the original HTTP request; the URLs are stripped at # the element currently traversed # fortunately the original URL can be reconstructed using # REQUEST['TraversalRequestNameStack'] which contains a (reverse) # list of the missing elements - 0.0.5b (2000/11/06) - Fixed problem in which CookieLessSessionManager would only work when installed directly under the root. - 0.0.4b (2000/10/11) - Fixed Permission problem with SessionInstance - SessionInstance no longer inherits from SimpleItem. - 0.0.3b (2000/10/10) - Minor bug fix for not putting manage screens under Session control - Changed License to Open Source - 0.0.2b (2000/10/05) - Added default timeout property to the folder - Exposed the timeout variable through Session.setTimeOut(minutes) - Added creationTime method to get the session's creation time - added more documentation in README.txt - changed session identifier from $ to S__. Python/Zope internally converts the $ to %24 causing problems with other products.
