use Jifty; Jifty->new(); my $handler = Jifty::Handler->handle_request( cgi => $cgi ); # after each request is handled Jifty::Handler->cleanup_request;
Jifty::Handler provides methods required to deal with Mason CGI handlers.
Create a new Jifty::Handler object. Generally, Jifty.pm does this only once at startup.
Initialize all of our view handlers.
XXX TODO: this should take pluggable views
Attempts to create our app's mason cache directory.
Returns the CGI object for the current request, or undef if there is none.
undef
Returns the HTML::Mason::FakeApache or Apache object for the current request, ot undef if there is none.
When your server processs (be it Jifty-internal, FastCGI or anything else) wants to handle a request coming in from the outside world, you should call handle_request.
handle_request
A CGI object that your server has already set up and loaded with your request's data.
Dispatchers should call this at the end of each request, as a class method. It flushes the session to disk, as well as flushing Jifty::DBI's cache.
