NAME

OpenInteract2::SessionManager::DBI - Create sessions within a DBI data source

SYNOPSIS

 # In your configuration file
 
 [session_info]
 class       = OpenInteract2::SessionManager::DBI
 impl_class  = Apache::Session::MySQL

 # Use a different datasource
 
 [datasource session_storage]
 type          = DBI
 driver_name   = Pg
 dsn           = dbname=sessions
 username      = webuser
 password      = s3kr1t
 sql_install   =
 long_read_len = 65536
 long_trunc_ok = 0
 
 [session_info]
 class       = OpenInteract2::SessionManager::DBI
 impl_class  = Apache::Session::Postgres
 datasource  = session_storage

DESCRIPTION

Provide a '_create_session' method for OpenInteract2::SessionManager so we can use a DBI data source as a backend for Apache::Session.

If you want to use SQLite as a backend, see OpenInteract2::SessionManager::SQLite.

METHODS

_validate_config( $session_config )

Ensure our configuration is valid.

• session_info.impl_class ($) (REQUIRED)

  Specify the session serialization implementation class -- e.g., Apache::Session::MySQL, Apache::Session::Postgres, etc.

• session_info.datasource ($) (REQUIRED)

  Specify the datasource name to use.

• session_info.params (\%) (optional)

  Parameters that get passed directly to the session serialization implementation class. These depend on the implementation.

_create_session( $session_config, [ $session_id ] )

Overrides the method from parent OpenInteract2::SessionManager to take a session ID and retrieve a session from the datastore. See _validate_config() and the session implementation (e.g., Apache::Session::Postgres for configuration information.
