NAME
AxKit::XSP::Minisession - Yet Another Session Handling Library
SYNOPSIS
In your config file:
PerlSetVar MinisessionDir /tmp/sessions
PerlSetVar MinisessionLockDir /tmp/sessionlock
AxAddXSPTaglib +AxKit::XSP::Minisession
In your XSP code:
<xsp:page
xmlns:session="
http://squash.oucs.ox.ac.uk/XSP/Minisession"
>
<session:set-value username="simon"/>
<session:get-value>username</s:get-value>
In your Perl code:
die "Already logged in" if
AxKit::XSP::Minisession::Backend::get_value($r, "username");
AxKit::XSP::Minisession::Backend::set_value($r, "username", $username);
DESCRIPTION
This is a very simple session library which sets state via a cookie and
uses "Apache::Session::File" to store sessions in files on the file
system. If you need anything more complex than that, this module isn't
for you.
The guts of the module are the two functions "get_value" and "set_value"
in the "::Backend" module. The first parameter to these should be an
"Apache::Request" object, and the second a hash key.
These functions are wrapped by the "set-value" and "get-value" tags from
XSP.
And that's it. I said it was very simple.
TAG REFERENCE
set-value
Assigns the given name/value pair to the currenct session.
get-value
Returns the currennt session value for the itemd requested.
