How to use Jackalope sessions in a web application
gg
using,
$this->session = $repository->login($credentials, $workspace);
should be used?
Should this session object be stored at user level, application level
or request level? Is the session object safe to be used by multiple
threads?
Thanks,
gg

at which level you use the object depends on what you want to do. think
of it as of one connection to the database.
by nature of phpcr, modifications first happen to the session and are
only persisted on save(). so if you do write operations, you probably do
not want to share that session with other things that are not aware of
what you do.
if the acl part of phcpr was implemented in jackalope you would want to
use individual sessions per user to have the right permissions applied.
at the moment however, this is probably not relevant.
if you can reuse the same session over multiple requests, it will be a
big performance gain as things read from the backend are cached locally.
at some point you will need to restart the session though, to avoid the
cache growing too big.
for threads, i fear this will not work at the moment. we never tried it
and do nothing to protect against all the ugly things you can get with
threads. if you have experience in that area and would be motivated to
review jackalope in that respect and maybe even send pull requests, that
would be awesome.
cheers,david
