Spring Session

Spring Session provides an API and implementations for managing a user’s session information, while also making it trivial to support clustered sessions without being tied to an application container specific solution. It also provides transparent integration with:

• HttpSession - allows replacing the HttpSession in an application container (i.e. Tomcat) neutral way, with support for providing session IDs in headers to work with RESTful APIs.

• WebSocket - provides the ability to keep the HttpSession alive when receiving WebSocket messages

• WebSession - allows replacing the Spring WebFlux’s WebSession in an application container neutral way.

Modules

This Spring Session repository consists of the following modules:

• Spring Session Core - provides core Spring Session functionalities and APIs

• Spring Session Data Redis - provides SessionRepository and ReactiveSessionRepository implementation backed by Redis and configuration support

• Spring Session JDBC - provides SessionRepository implementation backed by a relational database and configuration support

• Spring Session Hazelcast - provides SessionRepository implementation backed by Hazelcast and configuration support
