Redis Session Manager for Tomcat 8 ================================== Tomcat 8 / Java 8 session manager to store sessions in Redis. Goals ----- * Ability to use different Java Redis clients (defaults to a Redisson) with client-specific serializers (default to standard java serialization) * Session save configuration to allow persistence [after a request|when an attribute changes] * Ignore certain requests (e.g. for static resources) Usage ----- * Copy `redis-session-manager-with-dependencies-VERSION.jar` to tomcat/lib * Default configuration: (communicates with redis on localhost:6379) ``` <Manager className="com.crimsonhexagon.rsm.redisson.SingleServerSessionManager" /> ``` * Full configuration (showing default values): ``` <Manager className="com.crimsonhexagon.rsm.redisson.SingleServerSessionManager" endpoint="localhost:6379" sessionKeyPrefix="_rsm_" saveOnChange="false" forceSaveAfterRequest="false" dirtyOnMutation="false" ignorePattern=".*\\.(ico|png|gif|jpg|jpeg|swf|css|js)$" connectionPoolSize="100" database="0" password="<null>" timeout="60000" pingTimeout="1000" retryAttempts="20" retryInterval="1000" /> ``` * _endpoint_: hostname:port of the redis server. Must be a primary endpoint (read/write) and not a read replicate (read-only). * _sessionKeyPrefix_: prefix for redis keys. Useful for situations where 1 redis cluster serves multiple application clusters with potentially conflicting session IDs. * _saveOnChange_: if _true_, the session will be persisted to redis immediately when any attribute is modified. When _false_, a modified session is persisted to redis when the request is complete. * _forceSaveAfterRequest_: if _true_, the session will be persisted to redis when the request completes regardless of whether the session has detected a change to its state. * _ignorePattern_: Java Pattern String to be matched against the request URI (_does not include the query string_). If matched, the request will not be processed by the redis session manager. AWS ElastiCache usage ----- Version 2.0.0 added additional support for ElastiCache Replication Groups. Applicable configuration: ``` <Manager className="com.crimsonhexagon.rsm.redisson.ElasticacheSessionManager" nodes="node1.cache.amazonaws.com:6379 node2.cache.amazonaws.com:6379 ..." nodePollInterval="1000" sessionKeyPrefix="_rsm_" saveOnChange="false" forceSaveAfterRequest="false" dirtyOnMutation="false" ignorePattern=".*\\.(ico|png|gif|jpg|jpeg|swf|css|js)$" masterConnectionPoolSize="100" slaveConnectionPoolSize="100" database="0" password="<null>" timeout="60000" pingTimeout="1000" retryAttempts="20" retryInterval="1000" /> ``` _nodes_ is a space-separated list of all nodes in the replication group. There is no default value; failure to specify this will result in a failure to start. _nodePollInterval_ is the interval for polling each node in the group to determine if it is the master or a slave. Notes on object mutation ----- * TL;DR: avoid mutation of objects pulled from the session. If you must do this, read on. * Changes made directly to an object in the session without mutating the session will not be persisted to redis. E.g. `session.getAttribute("anObject").setFoo("bar")` will not result in the session being marked dirty. _forceSaveAfterRequest_ can be used as a workaround, but this is inefficient. A dirty workaround would be to mark the session as dirty by `session.removeAttribute("nonExistentKey")` * It is possible for an object to be mutated and `session.setAttribute("anObject")` invoked without the session being marked as dirty due to the session object and mutated object being references to the same actual object. _dirtyOnMutation_ will mark the session as dirty whenever `setAttribute()` is invoked. This is generally safe but is disabled by default to avoid unnecessary persists.
