I use memcached to store session.  
It works great if store string in session, but not work if I store  
activerecord object.

for example,

[view1]  
\<% session[:k] = “test” %\>  
\<% session[:o] = User.find(1) %\>

[view2]  
\<%= session[:k] %\> # test  
\<%= session[:o] %\> # nil

I expect session[:o] will be object query from User.find(1), but it’s  
nil.  
any idea ?
