My idea is mainly to store something like a unique identifier(*not*
password) on the client side. On the first hit of a new session the app
will check for this id and automatically log the user in if it exists.
The users of this app will generally use the system from their own computers
only. We also use logging in exclusively for user preferences, and I'd like
logging in to be a bit more transparent to the user.
What I'm pondering at the moment is whether it would be worthwhile to add
some utility class that manages this automatically for you in Turbine. And
to what extend - is a general cookie utility good enough or should I go as
far as persistent logging in over sessions?
