NAME

       Jifty::Web::Session - A Jifty session handler

SYNOPSIS

       In your etc/config.yml (optional):

         framework:
           Web:
             # The default ($PORT is replaced by the port the app is running on)
             SessionCookieName: JIFTY_SID_$PORT

   new
       Returns a new, empty session.

   id
       Returns the session's id if it has been loaded, or "undef" otherwise.

   create
       Creates a new row in the Jifty::Model::Session table.

   load [ID]
       Load up the current session from the given "ID", or the appropriate cookie (see
       "cookie_name") otherwise.  If both of those fail, creates a session in the database.

   load_by_kv key => value
       Load up the current session from the given (key, value) pair. If no matching session could
       be found, it will create a new session with the key, value set.  Be sure that what you're
       loading by is unique. If you're loading a session based on, say, a timestamp, then you're
       asking for trouble.

   get KEY [TYPE]
       Returns the value for "KEY" for the current user's session.  "TYPE", which defaults to
       "key", allows accessing of other namespaces in the session, including "metadata" and
       "continuation".

   set KEY => VALUE, [TYPE]
       Sets the value "VALUE" for "KEY" for the session.  "TYPE", which defaults to "key", allows
       values to be set in other namespaces, including "metadata" and "continuation". "VALUE" can
       be an arbitrary perl data structure -- "Jifty::Web::Session" will serialize it for you.

   remove KEY, [TYPE]
       Remove key "KEY" from the cache.  "TYPE" defaults to "key".

   remove_all
       Removes the session from the database entirely.

   continuations
       Return a hash of all the continuations in this session, keyed by the continuations' "id".
