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
       lazy
           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.

       create_unknown
           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.

       recreate_id
           Setting this to one causes Apache::Session to create a new session id when the
           specified session id does not exists.

       object_store
           Specify the class for the object store. (The Apache::Session:: prefix is optional)
           Only for Apache::Session 1.00.

       lock_manager
           Specify the class for the lock manager. (The Apache::Session:: prefix is optional)
           Only for Apache::Session 1.00.

       Store
           Specify the class for the object store. (The Apache::Session::Store prefix is
           optional) Only for Apache::Session 1.5x.

       Lock
           Specify the class for the lock manager. (The Apache::Session::Lock prefix is optional)
           Only for Apache::Session 1.5x.

       Generate
           Specify the class for the id generator. (The Apache::Session::Generate prefix is
           optional) Only for Apache::Session 1.5x.

       Serialize
           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
       setid
           Set the session id for further accesses.

       getid
           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.

       cleanup
           Writes any pending data, releases all locks and deletes all data from memory.

       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.
