AxKit::XSP::Minisession - Yet Another Session Handling Library
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);
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.
Assigns the given name/value pair to the currenct session.
Returns the currennt session value for the itemd requested.
