Thanks for the link; that is definitely going to be a big help for the redis bridge.

But I'm still unclear as to the "right" way to use/define my own SessionConfig implementation.  In the link you sent, they instantiate the RedisManager with the existing SessionConfig object, and use whatever undertow passes in the parameters.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I suspect I can hack around it using the SessionConfigWrapper but that does not seem to respect the spirit or intent of the wrapper, so I'm trying to figure out if there is another/better way to do this.

Or is the only solution to completely ignore the SessionConfig object and build my solution independent of it? But then it will not respect the contract of the SessionManager to retrieve the Sessionid from the SC object.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric,

Unfortunately I cannot share that code as it's company property.
As far as I can remember, it was really easy. I used the java redis library: Jedis.
Oh, and look what I found:
https://github.com/coat/undertow-redis-session/blob/master/src/main/java/com/pedanticprogrammer/undertow/RedisSessionManager.java

That's a good starting point, if not the complete solution right there.

Cheers,
Antoine

Antoine,

That's exactly where I am heading too.  Is there any chance you still have our can share the code you used to do that? 

Thanks,

I did a similar thing once: persisting sessions into a Redis data store
My starting point was the InMemorySessionManager.

Good luck to you!

Am I heading down the wrong path?  Is there an easier/another way to load/persist the session? 

Thanks

If you want such a custom solution why not just use a cookie and ignore all of the SessionConfig code. You can write a handler that checks for the cookie and attaches your own custom session object to the exchange based on the cookie.

Stuart,

My goal is to actually replace the JSESSIONID cookie/mechanism with my own mechanism.  I am looking to use a JsonWebToken (JWT) to pass my JSESSIONID to the application for a few different reasons:
1) I would like to sign the JSESSIONID
2) I would like to pass additional data along with the JSESSIONID (ex: some auth claims)
3) I want to be able to share this information between different containers
4) I want to pass a TTL with my token


At some level, I am trying to hack together an SSO solution temporarily which would allow me to log into one container, and have some credentials pass to another container.  My issue is that both containers are session based, and hence, need to be able to retrieve a session from a sessionId.  However, I also want to make sure that sessions don't expire - that is if I am working in container 2, that my session in container 1 continues to live (if the user gets redirected back to container 1).

So, in essence, I am looking to be able to extract my SessionId from a mechanism other than the standard JSESSIONID cookie, but yet, still continue to use the sessions seamlessly.

I figure I could potentially hack around the design using the SessionConfigWrapper in which I use the wrap() method to return my own SessionConfig object, but that does not seem to fit in the spirit or design of the wrapper.

Is there another/better way to accomplish something like this?  Or is undertow designed with only the JSESSIONID cookie in mind?  I did notice the 
 SessionConfig.SessionCookieSource enum with value OTHER, but cannot seem to see/figure out where that is used, or how to leverage that setting.  I looked through the ServletContextImpl class but only see the SessionTrackingMode of COOKIE, SSL and URL available.

Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

Why do you need a custom SessionConfig? In general Servlet will use
its own SessionConfig that matches the configuration of the deployed
application (generally just using a JSESSIONID cookie, unless it has
been customized).
