Rails - Apr 2006 - sessions test

hey everyone,
 im trying to set up a quick sessions test and cant get the thing to 
work. ive got to be missing something tiny....

the controller goes:
  def session_test
    session[:greeting] = "good morning"
  end

and the view goes:
  <%= @session[:greeting] %>

all of this gets me a blank screen. when i set the view to dump all the 
session data "session{}" it returns "#"


thanks.

Don''t use @session. It''s deprecated and the core folks want
people
using session instead. :-)

How do you "set" it to do that?

Could I suggest session.inspect

Generally speaking, blank screens frequently involve session file
issues. Try clearing your session files and trying again.

What you''re trying to do should work. Of course, session is generally
used for inter-request communications, and is not required for
controller-view communications, a pedestrian controller instance
attribute (begins with @) would work fine for that.
