NAME

Jifty::Handler - Methods related to the Mason handler

SYNOPSIS

   use Jifty;
   Jifty->new();
 
   my $handler = Jifty::Handler->handle_request( cgi => $cgi );
 
   # after each request is handled
   Jifty::Handler->cleanup_request;
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Jifty::Handler provides methods required to deal with Mason CGI handlers.

mason

Returns the Jifty c<HTML::Mason> handler. While this ``should'' be just another template handler, we still rely on it for little bits of Jifty infrastructure. Patches welcome.

new

Create a new Jifty::Handler object. Generally, Jifty.pm does this only once at startup.

view_handlers

Returns a list of modules implementing view for your Jifty application.

You can override this by specifying:

   framework:
       View:
          Handlers:
             - Jifty::View::Something::Handler
             - Jifty::View::SomethingElse::Handler
 
 

fallback_view_handler

Returns the object for our ``last-resort'' view handler. By default, this is the HTML::Mason handler.

You can override this by specifying:

   framework:
       View:
          FallbackHandler: Jifty::View::Something::Handler
 
 

setup_view_handlers

Initialize all of our view handlers.

view ClassName

Returns the Jifty view handler for "ClassName".

create_cache_directories

Attempts to create our app's mason cache directory.

cgi

Returns the CGI object for the current request, or "undef" if there is none.

apache

Returns the HTML::Mason::FakeApache or Apache object for the current request, ot "undef" if there is none.

handle_request

When your server processs (be it Jifty-internal, FastCGI or anything else) wants to handle a request coming in from the outside world, you should call "handle_request".
cgi
A CGI object that your server has already set up and loaded with your request's data.

cleanup_request

Dispatchers should call this at the end of each request, as a class method. It flushes the session to disk, as well as flushing Jifty::DBI's cache.
