[This is an Apache::Template question]
I have been experimenting with subclassing
Template::Service::Apache so that i can add
cookie/session support to my application. I have
tried Template::Plugin::Apache::SessionManager
with no luck, and am resorting to rolling my own
support. Here is what i have so far:
I have deduced that
Template::Service::Apache::params() is where i
need to test for the existance of a session_id in
the cookie, but i can't pass the created
Apache::Session object to my template. Here is my
params() method:
sub params {
my ($self,$r) = @_;
# i tried calling super via $self->SUPER ...
but it didn't work
my $params =
Template::Service::Apache::params(@_);
my $request = Apache::Request->new($r);
my %cookie = Apache::Cookie->new($r)->parse;
my $sess_id = $cookie{SESSION_ID};
tie(my
%session,'Apache::Session::File',$sess_id, {
Directory => $SESSION_DIR,
LockDirectory => $SESSION_DIR,
}) || die "Global data not available: $!";
warn "[params] session = ",
Data::Dumper::Dumper(\%session), "\n";
# here is where the trouble seems to be
$self->{SESSION} = {%session};
$params->{SESSION} = {%session};
$params->{FOO} = {bar=>'baz'};
return $params;
}
If you look at the last 5 lines, i am setting a
key in both
$params and $self. $params is suppose to be
available to my templates, and i figure i need to
also store the sesssion in $self so that i can
set the cookie value with it in
Template::Service::Apache::headers() ... but i
digress.
The problem is that SESSION is 'empty' when i try
to display it in my template. The warn statement
above yields something like:
[params] session = {
'_session_id' =>
'afaa6ec9ca80e9fb6eafba3804770728'
}
But there are no keys when i try to access [%
SESSION %] in my template. However, notice the
FOO that i assigned to $params? THAT does show up
in my template:
[% SESSION %] #
yields HASH (...)
[% SESSION._session_id %] # nothing
[% FOO.bar %] #
yields 'baz'
Also, i have tried 'attaching' the session like
so:
$self->{SESSION} = \%session;
$params->{SESSION} = \%session;
but the results are the same (it don't work). Any
thoughts, suggestions, work-arounds, or MU's are
welcome. :)
thanks,
jeffa
