MasonX::Request::WithMultiSession2 - Multiple sub-sessions within one "parent" session
PerlSetVar MasonRequestClass MasonX::Request::WithMultiSession2
MasonX::Request::WithMultiSession2 is highly experimental ( alpha ) and should only be used in a test environment.
MasonX::Request::WithMultiSession2 is a clone of MasonX::Request::WithMultiSession changed to work under a pure mod_perl2 environment. The external interface is unchanged, see MasonX::Request::WithMultiSession.
The actual changes I made can be found in the distribution in diff/WithMultiSession.diff ( made with 'diff -Naru' ... ).
A HOWTO for HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler2 and friends may be found at Mason-with-mod_perl2.
The following documentation is from MasonX::Request::WithMultiSession.
This module subclasses MasonX::Request::WithApacheSession2 in order
to allow multiple "sub-sessions" to exist within one parent session.
This can be quite useful for a web app where you want to allow the user to open multiple windows, each with a different session, but session ids are stored in a cookie.
Like MasonX::Request::WithApacheSession2, sub-sessions are shared
between a request and any subrequests it creates.
This class has an interface quite similar to that of
MasonX::Request::WithApacheSession2.
The primary interface to this class is through the session()
method. When this method is called without any parameters, the module
looks for an existing sub-session specified by the sub-session id
argument parameter (which can be in a query string or POST). This
value can be overridden by explicitly passing a "sub_session_id"
parameter.
If this parameter is found, an existing sub-session is returned. If this parameter is not found, a new sub-session is created.
If the session() method is called as session( clone => 1 )
then a new sub-session will be created, and its contents will be the
same as that of the current sub-session. This is a shallow copy of
the old session hash, so objects and references are shared between
them.
If session( new => 1 ) is called, then a new, empty,
sub-session is created.
You can specify the main session id to use via the "session_id" parameter.
This method returns the currently active sub-session's id. Use this method to put this id into URL parameters, forms, etc. as needed.
If given a "sub_session_id" parameter, it will set the current sub-session id.
By default, this simply defaults the current sub-session. You can pass a "sub_session_id" parameter to delete a specific session.
This module takes two parameters besides those inherited from
MasonX::Request::WithApacheSession2:
This parameter can be used to specify which parameter contains the sub-session id. By default, the module will look for a parameter called "sub_session_id".
This parameter specifies the number of seconds after a sub-session is accessed until it is purged. If not specified, then sub-sessions are never purged.
Sub-sessions expiration is checked when the request object goes out of scope.
You will need to manually set the sub-session id argument parameter
for each request. The easiest way to do this is to make sure that all
URLs contain the sub-session id. This can be done by using a <%filter> block in a top-level autohandler (although this won't
catch redirects), or by making sure all URLs are generated by a single
component/function.
