Re: [undertow-dev] Howto create/configure a custom SessionManager and SessionConfig implementation?

What exactly will you gain from reusing SessionConfig if you are going to hack around a lot of it? If not much then just write your own handler that handles the cookies and talking to Redis it might be less work then customizing and hacking around SessionConfig.
