[TYPO3-mvc] session handling in extbase

[Michael Knoll]

Hi Thomas,

this is a little tricky at the moment, as we do not have a factory that 
can handle fe / be sessions. So if you take a look at the yag abstract 
controller:

https://github.com/michaelknoll/yag/blob/master/Classes/Controller/AbstractController.php

you see how to initialize the lifecycle manager.

We inject the session persistence manager into every object that needs 
to be persisted. This is not yet very well refactored, but at the moment 
it works like this:

1. A factory builds the session-persisted object and injects a session 
persistence manager
2. The object registers itself in the session persistence manager and 
gets injected its session data from the last run
3. When the lifecycle finishes (TYPO3 shuts down), session persistence 
manager grabs session data from each registered object and stores it to 
the session handler - this can be different handlers, concerning fe or 
be session handling.

Take a look at

https://github.com/daniellienert/pt_extlist/blob/master/Classes/Domain/Model/Filter/FilterFactory.php

for a factory.


The controller only instantiates the lifecycle manager, session 
persistence manager has its own factory that handles getting a singleton 
instance, whenever you need an instance.


Hope, this helps you. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.


The extensions pt_extlist (
https://github.com/daniellienert/pt_extlist) and yag (
https://github.com/michaelknoll/yag) use these classes at the moment, so 
perhaps you can have a look there. Documentation is on the way, as soon 
as we have the whole thing refactored and nice.
