I have been exploring on spring-session framework for session management in our application, and we want to store session in database. I understand that spring provides implementation with JDBC and we can configure our own DataSource. The problem I'm facing is that we don't have direct access to db and need to make web service call to do any sort of crud operations.
So, is there a way to integrate spring-session to consume web services for session related crud operations in db ?
Another question is, can we change the schema for session related tables. I know that we can change the table names, but is it possible to add or remove further columns in the given tables ?
You can employ your custom session repository fairly easy - use @EnableSpringHttpSession (which imports SpringHttpSessionConfiguration) to configure common Spring Session components and register your SessionRepository implementation @Bean.
Regarding more advanced customization of schema used by JdbcOperationsSessionRepository, this was considered during implementation of JDBC support however decision was made not to provide this initially. If you need this feature please consider creating an feature request in Spring Session issue tracker.
