| Object: SESSION-CONTROL-MIXIN (The :GWL Package) |
| Mixins: VANILLA-MIXIN |
| Input Slots (optional) | |
| HIDDEN? [from VANILLA-MIXIN*] boolean | |
Indicates whether the object should effectively be a hidden-object even if specified in :objects. Default is nil. | |
| ORG-TYPE | |
Type of original object, useful when viewing session report log | |
| RECOVERY-EXPIRES-AT expiration time of the recovery object | |
After the recovery object has replaced the orginal instance at what time should the recovery instance expire? | |
| RECOVERY-URL | |
Url to which a user will be redirected if requesting a session that has been cleared | |
| ROOT [from VANILLA-MIXIN*] gdl instance | |
The root-level node in this object's ``tree'' (instance hierarchy). | |
| SAFE-CHILDREN [from VANILLA-MIXIN*] list of gdl instances | |
All objects from the :objects specification, including elements of sequences as flat lists. Any children which throw errors come back as a plist with error information | |
| SESSION-DURATION | |
Length of time a session should last without activity in minutes | |
| STRINGS-FOR-DISPLAY [from VANILLA-MIXIN*] string or list of strings | |

| USE-RECOVERY-OBJECT? boolean | |
Determines whether expired sessions are replaced by recovery object. Default is nil. | |
| VISIBLE-CHILDREN [from VANILLA-MIXIN*] list of gdl instances | |

| SET-EXPIRES-AT | |
Method which will set the expires-at slot to the current time + the session-duration | |
