Interesting, it appears that the only API to the
MasonX::Request::WithApacheSession is through the mason request object
(global $m). In order to test what you have recommended, I created a
session using purely the Apache::Session::MySQL class. I did this by
creating a seperate "set.html" mason/html file which creates a new
session and sets some session values. The code is below:
-------------------BEGIN MASON CODE FOR
"set.html"-------------------------------------------------
<%perl>
my %session;
tie %session, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', undef, {
Handle => $DBH,
LockHandle => $DBH
};
</%perl>
<h3>Setting some of the session keys<h3>
<%perl>
$session{'car'} = {
make => 'BMW',
year => '2005',
model => 'M3',
color => 'Interlagos Blue'
};
$session{'user'} = $USEROBJECT;
</%perl>
<h3>Dumping contents of %session <% $session{_session_id} %></h3>
% for my $key (keys %session) {
<h3><% $key %> = <% $session{$key} %></h3>
% }
<h3><a href="dump.html?id=<% $session{_session_id} %>">dump.html</a></h3>
-------------------END MASON CODE FOR
"set.html"-------------------------------------------------
By viewing this page, the session key/values show up correctly in the
HTML output. However, when I click the link to go to the dump.html
page, nothing was saved. Below is the output for the dump.html page.
-------------------BEGIN MASON CODE FOR
"dump.html"-------------------------------------------------
<%args>
$id
</%args>
<%perl>
my %session;
tie %session, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $id, {
Handle => $DBH,
LockHandle => $DBH
};
</%perl>
<h3>DUMPING Session from %session</h3>
% for my $key (sort keys %session) {
<h3><% $key %> = <% $session{$key} %></h3>
% }
<h3><a href="set.html">set.html</a></h3>
-------------------END MASON CODE FOR
"dump.html"-------------------------------------------------
On this page, the only key/value pair is: _session_id => [MD5sessionidgoeshere]
I checked the MySQL logs and there were only 3 calls to it:
2005 Query SELECT
GET_LOCK('Apache-Session-f050450049018ff9d77c9e4697700b5f', 3600)
2005 Query INSERT INTO sessions (id, a_session) VALUES
('f050450049018ff9d77c9e4697700b5f','\0\0\0\n
f050450049018ff9d77c9e4697700b5f\0\0\0
_session_id')
2005 Query SELECT
RELEASE_LOCK('Apache-Session-f050450049018ff9d77c9e4697700b5f')
No UPDATE statements even though I'm changing things in the top level hash.
Any ideas?
Rick
