=head1 NAME
CGI::JSONRPC::Session - Persistant CGI handler for JSONRPC
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use CGI;
use MyDispatcher
my $cgi = new CGI;
MyDispatcher->handler($cgi);
exit;
package MyDispatcher;
sub init_session {
my ($class,%args) = @_;
require CGI::Session;
$args{session} = CGI::Session->new($args{cgi});
return %args;

The ::Session portions of CGI::JSONRPC are unmaintained and may change or
disappear without notice (probably change...)
=head1 DESCRIPTION
CGI::JSONRPC implements the JSONRPC protocol as defined at
L<http://www.json-rpc.org/>. When a JSONRPC request is received by
this handler, it is translated into a method call. The method and
it's arguments are determined by the JSON payload coming from the
browser, and the package to call this method on is determined by
the C<JSONRPC_Class> apache config directive.
A sample "dispatcher" module is supplied,
L<CGI::JSONRPC::Dispatcher|CGI::JSONRPC::Dispatcher>
B<Note:> I<This documentation is INCOMPLETE and this is an alpha release.
The interface is somewhat stable and well-tested, but other changes may
come as I work in implementing this on my website.>
=head1 USAGE
When contacted with a GET request, CGI::JSONRPC will reply with the
contents of JSONRPC.js, which contains code that can be used to create
JavaScript classes that can communicate with their Perl counterparts.
See the /examples/hello.html file for some sample JavaScript that uses
this library, and /examples/httpd.conf for the corresponding Perl.
When contacted with a POST request, CGI::JSONRPC will attempt to
process and dispatch a JSONRPC request. If a valid JSONRPC request was
sent in the POST data, the dispatcher class will be called, with the
following arguments:
=over
=item $class
Just like any other class method, the first argument passed in will be
name of the class being invoked.
=item $id
The object ID string from the JSONRPC request. In accordance with the
json-rpc spec, your response will only be sent to the client if this
value is defined.
=item @params
All further arguments to the method will be the arugments passed to the
JSONRPC constructor. It is expected to be a hash of key value option
pairs.
=back
If the client specified an C<id>, your method's return value will be serialized
into a JSON array and sent to the client as the "result" section of the
JSONRPC response.
=head2 The default dispatcher
The default dispatcher adds another layer of functionality; it expects the
first argument in @params to be the name of the class the method is being
invoked on. See L<CGI::JSONRPC::Dispatcher> for more details on that.
