I think I agree with you, Jason -- Webware should provide an easy hook to swap in a subclass for a key class like Session and it shouldn't feel like a hack. The Mixin stuff feels like too much of a hack, and adding a bunch of hooks at specific places in the code just adds clutter.
Perhaps a setting in Application.Config could specify classes to use in place of the standard classes:
'CustomClasses': {
'Session': 'MyPackage.MyModule:MySession' ,
'Request': 'MyPackage.MyModule:MyRequest'
}
I think this allows customizability, but not extensibility. It's customizable because you can alter the appserver without modifying the main source. But it's not extensible, because it can only be done once per installation for each main class.
