[Cartoweb-users] writing new plugin

[giuseppe.derossi at email.it]

Hi Alexander,
I'm studing the sessionable plugins such as Outline and Edit. As for as I've
understood, I've to do:
1) creating a class which is my state : the set of variables, arrays and so
on I want to store
2) making the my new plugin sessionable by inserting this interface
3) writing the methods you indicated : in createSession I have to set the
defined state-object while the loadSession and saveSession are the get and
set  methods

at this point I 've a doubt :
 can I manage the input and output of my state-object according my needs, by
setting and getting data to and from my state-object ?
do I need a server plugin for that ?

thanks and regards
