I have a behavior which enables segregation of user data based on the user id stored in the session. In CakePHP 1.3 you could do this:
App::import('Component', 'Session');
$session = new SessionComponent();
$session->read('Auth.User.id');
But in CakePHP 2, you can't instantiate a component like that in a behavior because the Component __construct requires the Controller's ComponentCollection as a parameter.
Is it possible to access a session variable inside a behavior in CakePHP 2? What's the best way to do it?
