express js session is serialized incorrectly

Question

express js session is serialized incorrectly

I use node.js and expressexpress. I add a dictionary to the req.session. It appears that the value inside the dictionary does not saved ()between cleints calls)

I will really appreciate any solution.

'req.session.test = [];
'req.session.test["obj1"] = obj; // Does not save in the session! - disappears between client calls'
'req.session.test.push(obj);     // saved in the session and can be found between client calls'

Thanks in advance, Shai

node.js

You cannot add objects to an array like that. If you want named keys (a "hash") then you'll have to use an object. Try

req.session.test = {};
req.session.test["obj1"] = obj;
