NAME

HTML::Embperl::Session - adaptation of Apache::Session to work with HTML::Embperl

DESCRIPTION

An adaptation of Apache::Session to work with HTML::Embperl

SYNOPSIS

Addtional Attributes for TIE

By Specifyng this attribute, you tell Apache::Session to not do any access to the object store, until the first read or write access to the tied hash. Otherwise the tie function will make sure the hash exist or creates a new one.
Setting this to one causes Apache::Session to create a new session with the given id (or a new id, depending on "recreate_id") when the specified session id does not exists. Otherwise it will die.
Setting this to one causes Apache::Session to create a new session id when the specified session id does not exists.
Specify the class for the object store. (The Apache::Session:: prefix is optional) Only for Apache::Session 1.00.
Specify the class for the lock manager. (The Apache::Session:: prefix is optional) Only for Apache::Session 1.00.
Specify the class for the object store. (The Apache::Session::Store prefix is optional) Only for Apache::Session 1.5x.
Specify the class for the lock manager. (The Apache::Session::Lock prefix is optional) Only for Apache::Session 1.5x.
Specify the class for the id generator. (The Apache::Session::Generate prefix is optional) Only for Apache::Session 1.5x.
Specify the class for the data serializer. (The Apache::Session::Serialize prefix is optional) Only for Apache::Session 1.5x.

Example using attrubtes to specfiy store and object classes instead of a derived class:

 use HTML::Embperl::Session;
 tie %session, 'HTML::Embperl::Session', undef,
    { 
    object_store => 'DBIStore',
    lock_manager => 'SysVSemaphoreLocker',
    DataSource => 'dbi:Oracle:db' 
    };

NOTE: HTML::Embperl::Session will require the necessary additional perl modules for you.

Addtional Methods

Set the session id for further accesses.
Get the session id. The difference to using $session{_session_id} is, that in lazy mode, getid will not create a new session id, if it doesn't exists.
Writes any pending data, releases all locks and deletes all data from memory.

AUTHORS

Gerald Richter <richter at embperl dot org> is the current maintainer.

This class was written by Jeffrey Baker (jeffrey@kathyandjeffrey.net) but it is taken wholesale from a patch that Gerald Richter (richter@ecos.de) sent me against Apache::Session.
