on_create_session

Hello,

just a description of how it work in my cp app.
I receive a create_session message only if a client works
without
cookies.
In this case the client gives a sessionId as an additional
parameter.

In my on_create_session handler I check the sessionId and
fill a
translation map that I use in my RamSession class at the
load(self,
sessionId) function.

In my on_create_session handler I would like to return the
"real"
session id. Then cp continues with the already exciting and
really
requested session. Like this:

def on_create_session(self, session_data):
    newSessionId = session_data["_id"]
    try:
        wantedSession =
cherrypy.request.params['sessionId']
        self.sessionMap[newSessionId] = wantedSession
        print "Wanted session is NOT the same:
", wantedSession
    except:
        wantedSession = newSessionId
        print "Wanted session is same: ",
wantedSession
# suggestion!
return wantedSession

Or is there a way to do this more elegant?

Thanks,

Marcus
