Are there any pro/cons I should be aware of in this case?
My application has users. I could create a 'user' object with the appropriate properties and methods to hold the logged in user's information, performing things like: user.getName() and user.logout(). But on the other side of the coin, if I wanted to get the name of a user, I could simply have a structure like SESSION.user.name and just retrieve it's value. And if I wanted to perform a logout, I could simply call the function in my security component and pass the needed info.
I like the idea of using OOP where possible, but is there any issue with going that route vs more simplified non-OOP methodologies?
