See the L, for a detailed guide to using Maypole. Maypole is a Perl web application framework to Java's struts. It is essentially completely abstracted, and so doesn't know anything about how to talk to the outside world. To use it, you need to create a package which represents your entire application. In our example above, this is the C package. This needs to first use L which will make your package inherit from the appropriate platform driver such as C or C, and then call setup. This sets up the model classes and configures your application. The default model class for Maypole uses L to map a database to classes, but this can be changed by altering configuration. (B calling setup.) =head2 CLASS METHODS =head3 config Returns the L object =head3 setup My::App->setup($data_source, $user, $password, \%attr); Initialise the maypole application and model classes. Your application should call this after setting configuration via L<"config"> =head3 init You should not call this directly, but you may wish to override this to add application-specific initialisation. =head3 view_object Get/set the Maypole::View object =head3 debug sub My::App::debug {1} Returns the debugging flag. Override this in your application class to enable/disable debugging. =head2 INSTANCE METHODS =head3 parse_location Turns the backend request (e.g. Apache::MVC, Maypole, CGI) into a Maypole request. It does this by setting the C, and invoking C and C. You should only need to define this method if you are writing a new Maypole backend. =head3 path Returns the request path =head3 parse_path Parses the request path and sets the C, C and C properties =head3 table The table part of the Maypole request path =head3 action The action part of the Maypole request path =head3 args A list of remaining parts of the request path after table and action have been removed =head3 headers_in A L object containing HTTP headers for the request =head3 headers_out A L object that contains HTTP headers for the output =head3 parse_args Turns post data and query string paramaters into a hash of C. You should only need to define this method if you are writing a new Maypole backend. =head3 param An accessor for request parameters. It behaves similarly to CGI::param() for accessing CGI parameters. =head3 params Returns a hash of request parameters. The source of the parameters may vary depending on the Maypole backend, but they are usually populated from request query string and POST data. B Where muliple values of a parameter were supplied, the C value will be an array reference. =head3 get_template_root Implementation-specific path to template root. You should only need to define this method if you are writing a new Maypole backend. Otherwise, see L =head3 get_request You should only need to define this method if you are writing a new Maypole backend. It should return something that looks like an Apache or CGI request object, it defaults to blank. =head3 is_applicable Returns a Maypole::Constant to indicate whether the request is valid. The default implementation checks that C<$r-Etable> is publicly accessible and that the model class is configured to handle the C<$r-Eaction> =head3 authenticate Returns a Maypole::Constant to indicate whether the user is authenticated for the Maypole request. The default implementation returns C =head3 model_class Returns the perl package name that will serve as the model for the request. It corresponds to the request C
attribute. =head3 additional_data Called before the model processes the request, this method gives you a chance to do some processing for each request, for example, manipulating C. =head3 objects Get/set a list of model objects. The objects will be accessible in the view templates. If the first item in C<$r-Eargs> can be Cd by the model class, it will be removed from C and the retrieved object will be added to the C list. See L for more information. =head3 template_args $r->template_args->{foo} = 'bar'; Get/set a hash of template variables. =head3 template Get/set the template to be used by the view. By default, it returns C<$r-Eaction> =head3 exception This method is called if any exceptions are raised during the authentication or model/view processing. It should accept the exception as a parameter and return a Maypole::Constant to indicate whether the request should continue to be processed. =head3 error Get/set a request error =head3 output Get/set the response output. This is usually populated by the view class. You can skip view processing by setting the C. =head3 document_encoding Get/set the output encoding. Default: utf-8. =head3 content_type Get/set the output content type. Default: text/html =head3 send_output Sends the output and additional headers to the user. =head3 call_authenticate This method first checks if the relevant model class can authenticate the user, or falls back to the default authenticate method of your Maypole application. =head3 call_exception This model is called to catch exceptions, first after authenticate, then after processing the model class, and finally to check for exceptions from the view class. This method first checks if the relevant model class can handle exceptions the user, or falls back to the default exception method of your Maypole application. =head3 handler This method sets up the class if it's not done yet, sets some defaults and leaves the dirty work to handler_guts. =head3 handler_guts This is the core of maypole. You don't want to know. =head1 SEE ALSO There's more documentation, examples, and a information on our mailing lists at the Maypole web site: L L, L, L. =head1 AUTHOR Maypole is currently maintained by Simon Flack C =head1 AUTHOR EMERITUS Simon Cozens, C Sebastian Riedel, C maintained Maypole from 1.99_01 to 2.04 =head1 THANKS TO Sebastian Riedel, Danijel Milicevic, Dave Slack, Jesse Sheidlower, Jody Belka, Marcus Ramberg, Mickael Joanne, Randal Schwartz, Simon Flack, Steve Simms, Veljko Vidovic and all the others who've helped. =head1 LICENSE You may distribute this code under the same terms as Perl itself. =cut 1;
