NAME

       Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State - Base class for session state preservation plugins.

SYNOPSIS

           package Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::MyBackend;
           use base qw/Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State/;

DESCRIPTION

       "Catalyst::Plugin::Session" module sets up it will check to see that
       "YourApp->isa("Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State")".

       When you write a session state plugin you should subclass this module this reason only.

       prepare_(action|cookies|whatever)
           Set "sessionid" (accessor) at prepare time using data in the request.

           Note that this must happen before other "prepare_action" instances, in order to get
           along with Catalyst::Plugin::Session. Overriding "prepare_cookies" is probably the
           stablest approach.

       finalize
           Modify the response at to include the session ID if "sessionid" is defined, using
           whatever scheme you use. For example, set a cookie,
