Web apps: the next battleground for FOSS?

07-14-2008 11:00 AM
Concerned about the increasing popularity of Web applications, Marco Barulli of the Clipperz project has written one of the first detailed suggestions about how free and open source software (FOSS) should respond to the trend. Although neither Barulli nor Clipperz is well-known, his ideas are being listened to by such figures as Richard M. Stallman of the Free Software Foundation and Fabrizio Capobianco, the CEO of Funambol and a long-time advocate of FOSS in Web applications.

Jifty::Web::Session::None(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    Jifty::Web::Session::None(3pm)

NAME
Jifty::Web::Session::None - A null session handler for jifty DESCRIPTION
Jifty depends on its sessions to keep users logged in, to store continuations and to allow developers to store user-specific data. In general, you don't want to disable them. But sometimes, the development benefits of Jifty lead you to build applications that genuinely don't want per-user sessions. That's where "Jifty::Web::Session::None" comes in. By specifying that you want to use "Jifty::Web::Session::None" as your Jifty session handler, you tell Jifty to avoid ever reading, writing or storing a user session. No cookies get set. Nothing gets stored in the database. USAGE
In your "etc/config.yml": --- framework: Web: SessionClass:: Jifty::Web::Session::None METHODS
All methods in this class are dummy methods which do no work. This class mocks the API provided by "Jifty::Web::Session". new Takes no arguments. Returns a Jifty::Web::Session::None. id Returns false. create Returns true. load Returns true. unload Returns true. loaded Returns true. get Returns false. set Returns false. remove Returns true. set_continuation Returns false. get_continuation Returns false. remove_continuation Returns false. continuations Returns false. set_cookie Returns false. cookie_name Returns false. expires Returns false. perl v5.14.2 2010-09-25 Jifty::Web::Session::None(3pm)
