We -have a bunch of templates provided by web designers. We have a number of -things we want to be able to do with the database - create, add, edit, -delete records, view records, run searches, and so on. We have a web -server which provides input from the user about what to do. Something in -the middle takes the input, grabs the relevant rows from the database, -performs the action, constructs a page, and spits it out. - -This module aims to be the most generic and extensible "something in the -middle". - -An example would help explain this best. You need to add a product -catalogue to a company's web site. Users need to list the products in -various categories, view a page on each product with its photo and -pricing information and so on, and there needs to be a back-end where -sales staff can add new lines, change prices, and delete out of date -records. So, you set up the database, provide some default templates -for the designers to customize, and then write an Apache handler like -this: - - package ProductDatabase; - use base 'Apache::MVC'; - __PACKAGE__->set_database("dbi:mysql:products"); - BeerDB->config->{uri_base} = "http://your.site/catalogue/"; - ProductDatabase::Product->has_a("category" => ProductDatabase::Category); - # ... - - sub authenticate { - my ($self, $request) = @_; - return OK if $request->{ar}->get_remote_host() eq "sales.yourcorp.com"; - return OK if $request->{action} =~ /^(view|list)$/; - return DECLINED; - } - 1; +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. C is a mod_perl based +subclass of Maypole. + +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 inherit from C, and then call setup. +This will give your package an Apache-compatible C subroutine, +and then pass any parameters onto the C method of the +model class. The default model class for Maypole uses L to +map a database to classes, but this can be changed by messing with the +configuration. (B calling setup.) + +Next, you should configure your application through the C +method. Configuration parameters at present are: + +=over + +=item uri_base + +You B specify this; it is the base URI of the application, which +will be used to construct links. + +=item display_tables + +If you do not want all of the tables in the database to be accessible, +then set this to a list of only the ones you want to display + +=item rows_per_page -You then put the following in your Apache config: +List output is paged if you set this to a positive number of rows. - +=back + +You should also set up relationships between your classes, such that, +for instance, calling C on a C object returns an +object representing its associated brewery. + +For a full example, see the included "beer database" application. + +=head1 INSTALLATION + +Create a driver module like the one above. + +Put the following in your Apache config: + + SetHandler perl-script - PerlHandler ProductDatabase + PerlHandler BeerDB -And copy the templates found in F into the -F directory off the web root.
