Symfony2存储用户数据的最佳方法？

Question

We are in the middle of migrating our web app from using Symfony 1.4 to Symfony 2.5. One issue I've run across is that the user class does not have a getAttribute os setAttribute method anymore:

$user->getAttribute('regions', array(), 'sfGuardSecurityUser');

This has been deprecated. What would be the best object/method to use to replace this functionality. I've thought about using the session to store the variables (mostly ids), but I've read that's a bad idea. I'm also using the FriendsOfSymfony bundle and my User class extends the base class.

Answer 1

As far as I know the getAttribute and setAttribute methods of symfony 1.4 only store the values to the session so the Symfony 2 equivilent should be:

$session = $this->container->get('session');

$session->set('name', 'Drak');
$session->get('name');
