Howto use lib-noir stateful-sessions in Compojure

Question

I think I have a fairly straightforward problem here. But I've been looking at this screen too long. So I'm trying (and failing) to get stateful sessions working in Compojure. The refheap code paste is here.

You can see me trying to use lib-noir (line 62) to initialize stateful sessions. Then when the app is running, I try to make a call to session/put! some data in the session (line 43).

Now, this stacktrace says that in session.put!, lib-noir is trying to swap out a session var that hasn't been bound. Now, I thought I did that on line 62. So I'm sure this is a simple fix that another set of eyes will see.

java.lang.ClassCastException: clojure.lang.Var$Unbound cannot be cast to clojure.lang.Atom

Try swapping around handler/site and wrap-noir-session*. Because handler/site applies the wrap-session middleware, and wrap-noir-session* depends on that according to the documentation, handler/site should be applied before wrap-noir-session.
