NAME

Apache2::ASP::Application::MySQL - MySQL-persisted Application state for Apache2::ASP

SYNOPSIS

In your httpd.conf:

PerlSetEnv APACHE2_ASP_APPLICATION_MANAGER Apache2::ASP::Application::MySQL

That's it! Now you're using Apache2::ASP::Application::MySQL to manage all of your Application state in your Apache2::ASP web application.

NOTE: - If you don't specify a value for $ENV{APACHE2_APPLICATION_MANAGER} then it will automatically default to Apache2::ASP::Application::MySQL.

DESCRIPTION

Apache2::ASP::Application::MySQL is both a reference implementation and the default Application state manager for Apache2::ASP.

Application state is unblessed, serialized via Storable and written to the database as a BLOB.

The data structure itself is simply a hashref.

Because the data is persisted within an SQL database, you can take advantage of load-balanced servers without sacrificing the ability to share data across your application.

DATABASE STRUCTURE

Applications are stored in a SQL database table with the following structure:

CREATE TABLE asp_applications (
  application_id VARCHAR(100) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
  application_data BLOB
);
