SYNOPSIS

 use WebApp::Component;

 ## the main program of a CGI program might look like:

 WebApp::Component::Main(
   dsn => "dbi:Pg:dbname=app_db",
   dbuser => "dbuser",
   dbpassword => "foo"
 );

DESCRIPTION

Component is a package that holds all of the logic that drives WebApp. It is meant to be used in a functional style, as opposed to OO-style.

DETAILED DOCUMENTATION

setup_session

This routine has the default logic for associating a WebApp::Session object with an HTTP session. It knows about a lot of things that every webapp might not have, like logging in, and so on.

Main

WebApp component logic. Invoke from your main CGI, which should probably just be component.cgi, unless you really know what you are doing... Here is the Main invocation from component.cgi:

    %COOKIES = fetch CGI::Cookie;
    WebApp::Component::Main(
      dsn => $DSN,
      dbuser => $DUSER,
      dbpassword => $DPASS,
      _COOKIES => \%COOKIES,
      _COOKIE_NAME => $COOKIE_NAME
    );

The various globals are set by configuration code... there is a lot of magic here.
