Hi,
I'm looking for a way to subclass HTML::Mason::Request to override the
redirect() method with custom functionality. The section on masonhq.com that
deals with subclassing mentions that there are distinct subclasses classes of
HTML::Mason::Request that are instantiated in mod_perl and mod_cgi contexts,
and that you need to use some Class::Container magic to set the correct base
class:
http://www.masonhq.com/docs/manual/Subclassing.html#request
sub new
{
my $class = shift;
$class->alter_superclass( $HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler::VERSION ?
'HTML::Mason::Request::ApacheHandler' :
$HTML::Mason::CGIHandler::VERSION ?
'HTML::Mason::Request::CGI' :
'HTML::Mason::Request' );
my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_);
...
return $self;
}
I have done this in my class and included @ISA = qw(HTML::Mason::Request) sicne
that's the most common superclass for all request classes, but Params::Validate
barfs on the extra parameters (i.e. 'ah') sent when instantiating what is
supposed to be an instance of HTML::Mason::Request::ApacheHandler.
Since both HTML::Mason::Request::ApacheHandler and HTML::Mason::Request::CGI
have their own extended validation parameters, how do I best go about
supporting both of those with my class? Do I simply create my own
__PACKAGE__->valid_params hash containing both sets of extended params, or is
there a more elegant way?
Cheers,
Steve
