Apache::Session and pnotes

[Xavier Noria <fx...@hashref.com>]

I am trying to retrieve/create an Apache::Session object for a given 
user in the authentication phase, so the following handlers have them 
available via pnotes. Sessions are stored in an Oracle database.

It seems, however, that Apache::Session objects stop being stored when I 
put the session in pnotes() with a code analogous to this:

    my $r = Apache::Request->instance(shift);
    
    tie my (%session), 'Apache::Session::Oracle', undef,
      {Handle => $class->dbh(), Commit => 1};
    
    $r->pnotes(session => \%session);

Is there any gotcha regarding the kind of objects that can be passed 
with pnotes? Or do you know what can be happening anyway if not?

Can you tell us more about the problem is?  What do you see when you 
take the session hash back out of pnotes?

No need to involve Apache::Request just for this.  Your handler should 
be getting $r passed to it.

Show us the code you use to get it back.
