You can subclass WASession with JimSession (for example) and add new
instance variables and configure Seaside (in /seaside/config) to use
this new session class instead of the default one.

If, for example, you add an instance variable "username" and its
accessors ("username" and "username:"), you will be at any point able
to use:

  self session username

and

  self session username: 'xxx'
