-    # A session store backed by an Active Record class.  A default class is
-    # provided, but any object duck-typing to an Active Record Session class
-    # with text +session_id+ and +data+ attributes is sufficient.
-    #
-    # The default assumes a +sessions+ tables with columns:
-    #   +id+ (numeric primary key),
-    #   +session_id+ (text, or longtext if your session data exceeds 65K), and
-    #   +data+ (text or longtext; careful if your session data exceeds 65KB).
-    # The +session_id+ column should always be indexed for speedy lookups.
-    # Session data is marshaled to the +data+ column in Base64 format.
-    # If the data you write is larger than the column's size limit,
-    # ActionController::SessionOverflowError will be raised.
-    #
-    # You may configure the table name, primary key, and data column.
-    # For example, at the end of <tt>config/environment.rb</tt>:
-    #   CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.table_name = 'legacy_session_table'
-    #   CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.primary_key = 'session_id'
-    #   CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.data_column_name = 'legacy_session_data'
-    # Note that setting the primary key to the +session_id+ frees you from
-    # having a separate +id+ column if you don't want it.  However, you must
-    # set <tt>session.model.id = session.session_id</tt> by hand!  A before filter
-    # on ApplicationController is a good place.
-    #
-    # Since the default class is a simple Active Record, you get timestamps
-    # for free if you add +created_at+ and +updated_at+ datetime columns to
-    # the +sessions+ table, making periodic session expiration a snap.

+module ActiveRecord
+  # A session store backed by an Active Record class.  A default class is
+  # provided, but any object duck-typing to an Active Record Session class
+  # with text +session_id+ and +data+ attributes is sufficient.
+  #
+  # The default assumes a +sessions+ tables with columns:
+  #   +id+ (numeric primary key),
+  #   +session_id+ (text, or longtext if your session data exceeds 65K), and
+  #   +data+ (text or longtext; careful if your session data exceeds 65KB).
+  # The +session_id+ column should always be indexed for speedy lookups.
+  # Session data is marshaled to the +data+ column in Base64 format.
+  # If the data you write is larger than the column's size limit,
+  # ActionController::SessionOverflowError will be raised.
+  #
+  # You may configure the table name, primary key, and data column.
+  # For example, at the end of <tt>config/environment.rb</tt>:
+  #   ActiveRecord::SessionStore::Session.table_name = 'legacy_session_table'
+  #   ActiveRecord::SessionStore::Session.primary_key = 'session_id'
+  #   ActiveRecord::SessionStore::Session.data_column_name = 'legacy_session_data'
+  # Note that setting the primary key to the +session_id+ frees you from
+  # having a separate +id+ column if you don't want it.  However, you must
+  # set <tt>session.model.id = session.session_id</tt> by hand!  A before filter
+  # on ApplicationController is a good place.
+  #
+  # Since the default class is a simple Active Record, you get timestamps
+  # for free if you add +created_at+ and +updated_at+ datetime columns to
+  # the +sessions+ table, making periodic session expiration a snap.
+  #
+  # You may provide your own session class implementation, whether a
+  # feature-packed Active Record or a bare-metal high-performance SQL
+  # store, by setting
+  #   ActiveRecord::SessionStore.session_class = MySessionClass
+  # You must implement these methods:
+  #   self.find_by_session_id(session_id)
+  #   initialize(hash_of_session_id_and_data)
+  #   attr_reader :session_id
+  #   attr_accessor :data
