Introduction

Products.BeakerSessionDataManager is a replacement for the default Zope 2 session implementation. (Compatible with Zope 2.10 and later.) It uses Beaker as a backend (via collective.beaker) and adapts the Beaker session to provide the same interface as a normal Zope session.

Beaker is a better alternative to the default session implementation for several reasons:

  • The Zope session implementation does not perform well in high-write scenarios.
  • Beaker provides better flexibility in where session data is actually stored.
  • Beaker is used and maintained outside of the Zope ecosystem.

If you are developing a product that needs sessions but are not already using Zope sessions, you should probably just use collective.beaker directly. This product is meant for use with existing add-ons that already use Zope sessions (i.e. request.SESSION).

Installation

  1. Add the Products.BeakerSessionDataManager egg to your buildout:

    System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 30)

    Literal block expected; none found.

[instance] eggs = Products.BeakerSessionDataManager

  1. Make sure that buildout adds Beaker configuration to zope.conf. For example:

    System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 36)

    Literal block expected; none found.

zope-conf-additional = <product-config beaker> session.type file session.data_dir ${buildout:directory}/var/sessions/data session.lock_dir ${buildout:directory}/var/sessions/lock session.key beaker.session session.secret secret </product-config>

The "secret" should be replaced with a unique string for your system. It must be the same for all Zope instances using the same session store.

See the collective.beaker docs for more details on configuration.

3. In the ZMI, delete the session_data_manager object and add a Beaker Session Data Manager.

Notes
  • Beaker does not automatically clean up old sessions, so you may want to set
