NAME
       Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State - Base class for session state preservation plugins.

SYNOPSIS
	   package Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::MyBackend;
	   use base qw/Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State/;

DESCRIPTION
       This class doesn't actually provide any functionality, but when the "Catalyst::Plugin::Session" module sets up it will check to see that
       "YourApp->isa("Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State")".

       When you write a session state plugin you should subclass this module this reason only.

WRITING STATE PLUGINS
       To write a session state plugin you usually need to extend two methods:

       prepare_(action|cookies|whatever)
	   Set "sessionid" (accessor) at prepare time using data in the request.

	   Note that this must happen before other "prepare_action" instances, in order to get along with Catalyst::Plugin::Session. Overriding
	   "prepare_cookies" is probably the stablest approach.

       finalize
	   Modify the response at to include the session ID if "sessionid" is defined, using whatever scheme you use. For example, set a cookie,
