Jetty Spring Boot with session replication

Question

I am using spring boot 2.5.3 with Jetty 9.4.43.v20210629. I want to share the session across multiple nodes. In Jetty 9.4 there are lot of changes in session management. I want some reference materials for session replication (using JDBC / File system) with java configurations.

Answer 1

Session replication can be done using spring session with following storage options,

Hazlecast Database Redis MongoDB

spring.session.store-type property should be used to decide the storage type. When multiple nodes / containers point to same storage it will share the session and no need to maintain a sticky session.

Need to add proper dependencies in pom.xml and add annotations when required (ex: @EnableJDBCHttpSession)

sample application yaml changes.

JDBC

spring:
    application.name: console-bs
    main.allow-bean-definition-overriding: true
    profile: default
    session.store-type: jdbc
    session.jdbc.initialize-schema: always
    jpa.database: mysql
    jpa.database-platform: org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
    datasource.url: jdbc:mysql://mysqldb:3306/user
    datasource.username: user
    datasource.password: user1234#
    datasource.driver-class-name: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

Redis

spring:
    application.name: console-bs
    main.allow-bean-definition-overriding: true
    profile: default
    session.store-type: redis
    redis.host: redis
    redis.port: 6379
