[TYPO3-dev] Proper usage of session storage

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi Francois,

after setKey you should use
$GLOBALS["TSFE"]->fe_user->storeSessionData();

Also you should differ fe_user and anonymous user:
Session data type; Either "user" (persistent, bound to fe_users profile) 
or "ses" (temporary, bound to current session cookie)
