Sessions management and User authentication

[Mrityunjay Kant]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to use a custom authentication and sessions management code with Bowler using Scalatra Scentry. However, Bowler creates a session and sets the jsessionid cookie on each request.  I'm unable to figure out how to turn this off? Also where do I extend for AuthenticationSupport trait from Scalatra to work with Bowler?

regards,
Mrityunjay

Session tracking by cookie can be disabled in the container:

Scalatra does not create a session unless the session method is
called. Scalatra's flash map implementation does require a session.
I can't speak to how Bowler uses sessions.

I'm not an expert on Scalatra Auth, but its author can be found on the
scalatra-user mailing list or in #scalatra on Freenode.

Thanks for the reply. I've created a fork and looking into how session management can be improved and more controlled via application code. Will keep updated.
