Hi Matteo,

Please make sure to cc the list, thanks...

But... but... this is fixed in 2.7.3. ;-)  There's almost no way the same
error could happen.  Really.  I've tested this.  Lots.  ;-)

Does this mean you can or can't reproduce the error under 2.7.3?

And what happened yesterday?  It started to work?

It depends where you have your session data container path set to in your
/session_data_manager object.  If it points to the object in
/temp_folder/session_data_container, your session data is not persistent. 
If it points to a different session data container, your session data is
persistent.

That's the right version.

I'm so confused.  Can we start over again?  Here's what I'd like you to do:

- please don't tell me any more about problems you have when you run
  under 2.6.X.  I know that's broken. ;-)

- please only tell me about problems that you have when you run your
  application under 2.7.3 b1 (not any other 2.7 version).

- if you experience a problem using ZWarehouse under 2.7.3b1, please
  tell us about it in detail (including a traceback) no matter whether
  it does or doesn't have anything to do with sessions, so we know
  what you're trying to do and how it doesn't work.

Thanks!
