Play 2.2.x module that supplies a Session Cache

This library supplies a wrapper for actions that can be used to associate a cache with a specific user. This is similar to the session in servlet type applications.

Under the hood the cache that is provided is nothing more than a wrapper around the default Play 2 Cache that makes sure that every key is supplied with a prefix.

If the user has no 'id' associated (no sessionId cookie), a cookie will be set. When the user has an 'id', that 'id' will be used to create the cache wrapper.

Since we are using the default Cache, it's up to you to specify timeouts. Unlike servlet type session mechanisms there is no global timeout. Even the cookie does not have a limit, it simply contains an 'id'.

Note that this is developed with and for Scala.

Installation

Add a resolver to your project settings:

val main = play.Project(appName, appVersion, appDependencies).settings(
    resolvers += Resolver.url("My GitHub Play Repository", url("http://krzysztofkowalski.github.io/releases/"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)
)

Add the dependency:

	val appDependencies = Seq(
      "com.github.krzysztofkowalski" %% "play-session-cache" % "1.2.0.1"
    )

For Play 2.1.x use this version

	"nl.rhinofly" % "session-cache_2.10" % "1.1.3",

Usage

object Application extends Controller {

  def index = SessionCache { sessionCache =>
    Action {
      val userIdOption = sessionCache get "userId"
    
      Ok(views.html.index(someValueFromTheCache))
    }
  }
  
}
