I need to be able to store sessions in such a way that requests can be handled by multiple application servers transparently and that session data survives a restart.

The only way to do this is with the supplied features is to use a network filesystem for the session files.

I am not sure that this will work out. Will locking be a problem? Will performance suffer?

I have created SQLAlchemyNamespaceManager which derives from myghty.container.NamespaceManager.

The do_close, do_remove, do_open methods use a sqlalchemy table object to create and update the session hash.

In a dummy myghty app I am able to create a session object like this:

from sqla import SQLAlchemyNamespaceManager session = m.get_session(session_namespace_class=SQLAlchemyNamespaceManager, dburi='mysql:// dbuser:dbpass@localhost/sessions_db')

I am now looking for a way to use SQLAlchemyNamespaceManager as session store in my Pylons controllers.

I have tried to modify lib/environment.py, config/middleware.py, and lib/base.by but without any success.

How can I use a custrom NamespaceManager for a Pylons session?

Thanks.

Bob
