If you already have a driver developed to work with the previous version you're highly encouraged to upgrade your driver code to make it compatible with the current version. Fortunately, current driver specs are a lot easier to adapt to. + +If you need any help converting your driver to meet current specs, send me an e-mail. For support information see +L<CGI::Session|CGI::Session> + +=head1 SYNOPSIS + + require CGI::Session::Driver; + @ISA = qw( CGI::Session::Driver ); + +=head1 DESCRIPTION + +CGI::Session::Driver is a base class for all CGI::Session's native drivers. It also documents driver specifications for those willing to write drivers for different databases not currently supported by CGI::Session. + +=head1 WHAT IS A DRIVER + +Driver is a piece of code that helps CGI::Session library to talk to specific database engines, or storage mechanisms. To be more precise, driver is a F<.pm> file that inherits from CGI::Session::Driver and defines L<retrieve()|/"retrieve($self, $sid)">, L<store()|/"store($self, $sid, $datastr)"> and L<remove()|/"remove($self, $sid)"> methods. + +=head2 BLUEPRINT + +The best way of learning the specs is to look at a blueprint of a driver: + + package CGI::Session::Driver::your_driver_name; + use strict; + use base qw( CGI::Session::Driver CGI::Session::ErrorHandler ); + + sub init { + my ($self) = @_; + # optional + } + + sub DESTROY { + my ($self) = @_; + # optional + } + + sub store { + my ($self, $sid, $datastr) = @_; + # Store $datastr, which is an already serialized string of data. + } + + sub retrieve { + my ($self, $sid) = @_; + # Return $datastr, which was previously stored using above store() method. + # Return $datastr if $sid was found. Return 0 or "" if $sid doesn't exist + } + + sub remove { + my ($self, $sid) = @_; + # Remove storage associated with $sid. Return any true value indicating success, + # or undef on failure. + } + + sub traverse { + my ($self, $coderef) = @_; + # execute $coderef for each session id passing session id as the first and the only + # argument + } + + 1; + +All the attributes passed as the second argument to CGI::Session's new() or load() methods will automatically +be made driver's object attributes. For example, if session object was initialized as following: + + $s = CGI::Session->new("driver:your_driver_name", undef, {Directory=>'/tmp/sessions'}); + +You can access value of 'Directory' from within your driver like so: + + sub store { + my ($self, $sid, $datastr) = @_; + my $dir = $self->{Directory}; # <-- in this example will be '/tmp/sessions' + } + +Optionally, you can define C<init()> method within your driver to do driver specific global initialization. C<init()> method will be invoked only once during the lifecycle of your driver, which is the same as the lifecycle of a session object. + +For examples of C<init()> look into the source code of native CGI::Session drivers. + +=head1 METHODS + +This section lists and describes all driver methods. All the driver methods will receive driver object ($self) as the first argument. Methods that pertain to an individual session (such as C<retrieve()>, C<store()> and C<remove()>) will also receive session id ($sid) as the second argument. + +Following list describes every driver method, including its argument list and what step of session's life they will be invoked. Understanding this may help driver authors. + +=over 4 + +=item retrieve($self, $sid) + +Called whenever a specific session is requested either via C<< CGI::Session->new() >> or C<< CGI::Session->load() >> syntax. Method should try to retrieve data associated with C< $sid > and return it. In case no data could be retrieved for C< $sid > 0 (zero) or "" should be returned. undef must be returned only to signal error. Error message should be set via set_error(), which can be inherited from L<CGI::Session::ErrorHandler|CGI::Session::ErrorHandler>. + +Tip: set_error() always returns undef. Use it for your advantage. + +=item store($self, $sid, $datastr) + +Called whenever modified session data is to be stored back to disk. This happens whenever CGI::Session->flush() is called on modified session. Since CGI::Session->DESTROY() calls flush(), store() gets requested each time session object is to be terminated. + +C< store() > is called both to store new sessions and to update already stored sessions. It's driver author's job to figure out which operation needs to be performed. + +$datastr, which is passed as the third argument to represents B<already serialized> session data that needs to be saved. + +store() can return any true value indicating success or undef on failure. Error message should be passed to set_error() + +=item remove($self, $sid) + +Called whenever session data is to be deleted, which is when CGI::Session->delete() is called. Should return any true value indicating success, undef on failure. Error message should be logged in set_error(). + +=item traverse($self, \&coderef) + +Called only from within CGI::Session->find(). Job of traverse() is to call \&coderef for every single session stored in disk passing session's id as the first and only argument: C<< $coderef->( $sid ) >> + +=item init($self) + +Optional. Called whenever driver object is to be initialized, which happens only once during the lifecycle of CGI::Session object. Here you can do driver-wide initialization, such as to open connection to a database server. + +=item DESTROY($self) + +Optional. Perl automatically calls this method on objects just before they are to be terminated. This gives your driver chance to close any database connections or close any open file handles. + +=back + +=head2 NOTES + +=over 4 + +=item * + +All driver F<.pm> files must be lowercase! + +=item * + +DBI-related drivers are better off using L<CGI::Session::Driver::DBI|CGI::Session::Driver::DBI> as base, but don't have to. + +=back + +=head1 LICENSING + +For support and licensing see L<CGI::Session|CGI::Session>. + +=cut |
