Hi,
I am new to mod_perl and would like to get some suggestion on my current
application design.
Following is the design:
Single PerlResponseHandler for my application, all requests will be
submitted to this handler, the handler will then dispatch the request to
appropriate sub-handlers based on the URI path.
Note: My path and handler mapping will be stored in a configuration file.
My configuration will look as follows -
<Location /app>
SetHandler modperl
PerlResponseHandler MyPackage::MyHandler
PerlAuthenHandler MyPackage::MyAuthHandler
</Location>
Psudocode in MyPackage::MyHandler:
------------------------------------
sub handler {
.....
.....
//Get the handler based on path
$sub_handler = getHandler($uripath) //e.g. /app/users
$sub_handler->handle($r, $session);
}
Please let me know of your views. I am not planning to use Catalyst or
existing frameworks as of now. I also thought of using Apache2::Dispatch,
but i believe it requires that each path has its own handler configured in
httpd.conf file (please correct me if I am wrong)
Thanks,
Jerry
