Spring Session

Spring Boot provides Spring Session auto-configuration for a wide range of data stores. When building a servlet web application, the following stores can be auto-configured:

Additionally, Spring Boot for Apache Geode provides auto-configuration for using Apache Geode as a session store .

The servlet auto-configuration replaces the need to use @Enable*HttpSession .

If a single Spring Session module is present on the classpath, Spring Boot uses that store implementation automatically. If you have more than one implementation, Spring Boot uses the following order for choosing a specific implementation:

For setting the timeout of the session you can use the spring.session.timeout property. If that property is not set with a servlet web application, the auto-configuration falls back to the value of server.servlet.session.timeout .

You can take control over Spring Session’s configuration using @Enable*HttpSession (servlet) or @Enable*WebSession (reactive). This will cause the auto-configuration to back off. Spring Session can then be configured using the annotation’s attributes rather than the previously described configuration properties.
