Mon Jul 21 22:07:46 2003 UTC (9 years, 11 months ago) by malsyned
Original Path: trunk/webwork2/lib/WeBWorK/ContentGenerator.pm
File size: 17980 byte(s)
Added the capability for content generators to return an HTTP response
type other than OK.
Added the capability for content generators to bypass the template
processing (by providing a "content" subroutine)

   55 # go(@otherArguments) - render a page, using methods from the particular
   56 # subclass of ContentGenerator. @otherArguments is passed to each method, so
   57 # that the dispatcher can pass CG-specific data. The order of calls looks like
   58 # this:
   59 #
   60 #   * &pre_header_initialize - give subclasses a chance to do initialization
   61 #     necessary for generating the HTTP header.
   62 #   * &header - this class provides a standard HTTP header with Content-Type
   63 #     text/html. Subclasses are welcome to overload this for things like
   64 #     an image-creation content generator or a PDF generator.
   65 #   In addition, if &header returns a value, that will be the value
   66 #         returned by the entire PerlHandler.
   67 #   * &initialize - let subclasses do post-header initialization.
   68 #   * any "template escapes" defined in the system template and supported by
   69 #     the subclass.
   70 #         (if &content exists on a content generator, it is called
   71 #         and no template processing occurs.)
   72 #
   73 # If &pre_header_initialize or &header sets $self->{noContent} to a true value,
   74 # &initialize will not be run and the content or template processing code
   75 # will not be executed.  This is probably only desirable if a redirect has been
   76 # issued.
