Does the webapp framework support sessions?

[Seth Ladd]

Looking for any documentation related to sessions in the webapp
framework. Is there explicit support for sessions?

Thanks!

Probably not in the way you mean. I believe you have to use the data
store for all data, including stuff you would normally keep in an in-
memory session.

Consider the lack of your daddy's sessions a feature. Its what will
make your app scale on Google's infrastructure.

Consider encrypted cookie-based sessions?

Exactly! Take a page from the Rails book here.

I'm curious as to why you guys are looking at needing cookie based sessions?

User management is handled by google, and you can tie information in
the datastore to the user that created it. Doesn't that get rid of the
need for sessions entirely?

You don't /have/ to give control to google - you can always write your
own user registration/login logic.

True, true. I've just had to write user management admin user
interfaces one to many times to bother doing it again. =)

I have a secure lightweight memecache-backed session class at
http://code.google.com/p/gmemsess/. I'm using it for my own
authentication system.

Cheers!
Greg.

Thanks for sharing! I was looking for a simple, short term session
class that didn't need the DB, and this looks like it fits the bill
perfectly!

Thanks again!
