# CGI::Session::PStore

PStore-based session storage class.

This builds upon the top-level PStore class provided by the library file pstore.rb. Session data is marshalled and stored in a file. File locking and transaction services are provided.

### Public Class Methods

new(session, option={}) click to toggle source

Create a new CGI::Session::PStore instance

This constructor is used internally by CGI::Session. The user does not generally need to call it directly.

`session` is the session for which this instance is being created. The session id must only contain alphanumeric characters; automatically generated session ids observe this requirement.

`option` is a hash of options for the initializer. The following options are recognised:

tmpdir

  the directory to use for storing the PStore file. Defaults to Dir::tmpdir (generally “/tmp” on Unix systems).

prefix

  the prefix to add to the session id when generating the filename for this session’s PStore file. Defaults to the empty string.

This session’s PStore file will be created if it does not exist, or opened if it does.

                   # File cgi/session/pstore.rb, line 46
    def initialize(session, option={})
      dir = option['tmpdir'] || Dir::tmpdir
      prefix = option['prefix'] || ''
      id = session.session_id
      require 'digest/md5'
      md5 = Digest::MD5.hexdigest(id)[0,16]
      path = dir+"/"+prefix+md5
      if File::exist?(path)
        @hash = nil
      else
        unless session.new_session
          raise CGI::Session::NoSession, "uninitialized session"
        end
        @hash = {}
      end
      @p = ::PStore.new(path)
      @p.transaction do |p|
        File.chmod(0600, p.path)
      end
    end

### Public Instance Methods
