Spring Session MongoDB provides an API and implementations for managing a user’s session information stored in MongoDB by leveraging Spring Data MongoDB.
Features
Spring Session MongoDB provides the following features:
API and implementations for managing a user’s session
HttpSession - allows replacing the HttpSession in an application container (i.e. Tomcat) neutral way
Clustered Sessions - Spring Session makes it trivial to support clustered sessions without being tied to an application container specific solution.
Multiple Browser Sessions - Spring Session supports managing multiple users' sessions in a single browser instance (i.e. multiple authenticated accounts similar to Google).
RESTful APIs - Spring Session allows providing session ids in headers to work with RESTful APIs WebSocket - provides the ability to keep the HttpSession alive when receiving WebSocket messages
Adding Spring Session for MongoDB to your build
Spring Session MongoDB is part of a Maven BOM (Bill of Materials) used to coordinate versions between the core Spring Session project and this MongoDB extension. Each BOM release is called a release train and has a naming strategy, e.g. Apple-SR8, Bean-SR3, etc.
Using the BOM with Maven
With Maven, you need to import the BOM first:
org.springframework.session spring-session-bom Bean-SR3 pom importThis example is using Bean-SR3, but you plug in the release train version you need.
Notice the use of the <dependencyManagement> section and the import scope.
The BOM artifact is org.springframework.session:spring-session-bom, and is outside of Spring Session MongoDB.
Next, add your dependencies to the project without a :
org.springframework.session spring-session-data-mongodbUsing the BOM with Gradle
Since Gradle has no first-class support for Maven BOMs, you can use Spring’s Dependency management plugin.
Apply the plugin from Gradle Plugin Portal (update the version if needed):
plugins {
id ‘io.spring.dependency-management’ version ‘1.0.6.RELEASE’
}
Then use it to import the BOM:
dependencyManagement {
imports {
mavenBom ‘org.springframework.session:spring-session-bom:Bean-SR3’
}
}
Finally, add a dependency to the project without a version:
dependencies {
compile ‘org.springframework.session:spring-session-data-mongodb’
}
