NAME

OpenFrame::AppKit::Session - sessions for OpenFrame

SYNOPSIS

use OpenFrame::AppKit::Session;

my $session = OpenFrame::AppKit::Session->new();

my $id = $session->id();
$session->store();

my $restored = OpenFrame::AppKit::Session->fetch( $id );

DESCRIPTION

OpenFrame::AppKit::Session provides a session class that is capable of being stored and restored from disk. The session expects you to treat it as a standard HASH for all intents and purposes, but does allow you to encapsulate that with the methods get and set for top level keys.

METHODS

• new

  The new() method instantiates a new OpenFrame::AppKit::Session and returns it.

• init

  The init() method provides initialization routines for OpenFrame::AppKit::Session

• id

  The id() method returns the sessions id

• generate_id

  The generate_id() method returns a new id, or the old id if it has already been generated.

• store

  The store() method serializes the session to disk. It returns the session id that can be used to restore the session.

• fetch

  The fetch() method takes a session id as a parameter and returns a restored session from disk. In the case that the session is unavailable it returns nothing.

• get

  The get() method simply returns a key as specified by the first parameter and returns its value.

• set

  The set() method simply sets a key value pair as specified by the first two parameters.
