Reactor only deals with communications with the DB, it doesn't care
about sessions and won't help you handle them in anyway.
Having said that, your application logic can use Reactor objects for
authentication or whatever, exactly as you described.
onSessionStart
<cfset session.user = application.reactor.createRecord('user')>
successful login event
<cfset session.user.load(userid=1)>
This does mean that, for example, if someone updates their profile, you
need to reload the user in the session scope to reflect the changes.
I'm not sure if storing lots of UserRecords in sessions might be bad for
the performance of the server, especially if you have lots of concurrent
sessions. I don't have any problems with it, but my sites are generally
for small intranets with only a handful of concurrent sessions.
I'd be interested to see how people writing large sites with Reactor
handle this.
