git clone [email protected]:jcern/jetty-session-redis.git
cd jetty-session-redis
mvn package
All downloads are here. They will also be available in Maven central repository and also in Sonatype OSS repositories soon:
- Snapshots - in Sonatype OSS Repository
- Releases - in Sonatype OSS Repository
- Releases - in Maven Central Repository
See the section below to know which package you need (the jar file or the -all bundle).
You need to put in Jetty's lib/ext folder:
- jedis
- commons-pool
and one of the following JAR:
- jetty-session-redis-X.Y.jar (if you are going to put all serializer dependencies also as independant jar files)
- jetty-session-redis-X.Y-all.jar (contains already packaged-relocated serializers)
I strongly recommand you use the jetty-session-redis-X.Y-all.jar because some serializers (like JBoss Serializer) have been improved for performance.
In Jetty server configuration file (i.e. jetty.xml):
<?xml version="1.0"?>

In each web application context file using session clustering (i.e. in WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml):
<Configure id="webappContext" class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
<Set name="contextPath">/webapp1</Set>
<Set name="sessionHandler">
<New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler">

<New class="com.ovea.jetty.session.redis.RedisSessionManager">
<Arg>session/redis</Arg>

<New class="com.ovea.jetty.session.serializer.JsonSerializer"/>
</Arg>
<!-- set the interval in seconds to force session persistence event if it didn't changed. Default to 60 seconds -->
<Set name="saveInterval">20</Set>
<!-- set the cookie domain -->
<Set name="sessionDomain">127.0.0.1</Set>
<!-- set the cookie path -->
<Set name="sessionPath">/</Set>
<!-- set the cookie max age in seconds. Default is -1 (no max age). 1 day = 86400 seconds -->
<Set name="maxCookieAge">86400</Set>
<!-- set the interval in seconds to refresh the cookie max age. Default to 0. This number should be lower than the session expirity time. -->
<Set name="refreshCookieAge">300</Set>
</New>
</Arg>
</New>
</Set>
</Configure>
Note: Jetty's default for maxCookieAge is -1 and as per my tests, setting it to a too short value may cause issues in session retrieval.
By default, session attributes are serialized using XStream, but this is clearly the worst serializer and you must make sure that you configure the serializer according to your needs. If you have small sessions with simple types, consider the JsonSerializer. If you have complexe objects but all serializable, you can consider the JbossSerializer. You can also create your own ones byt implementing the Serializer class of a provided skeleton (see examples here).
Here is the list of provided Serializer:
-
com.ovea.jetty.session.serializer.JsonSerializer
-
com.ovea.jetty.session.serializer.JdkSerializer
-
com.ovea.jetty.session.serializer.XStreamSerializer
-
com.ovea.jetty.session.serializer.JBossSerializer
session/redis
If you need to troobleshoot something, you can put Jetty in DEBUG mode and see the traces from RedisSessionManager and RedisSessionIdManager.
Also, with Redis you have the ability to monitor all the calls. Simply issue in a command-line:
redis-cli monitor
To see all Redis requests going to the Redis server. If you are using a String serializer such as XStream of Json, you'll be able to see all your session attributes into.
