= Spring Boot Spring Session Sample

This sample demonstrates the Spring Session auto-configuration support. Spring Session
supports multiple session store types, including:

* `Redis`
* `JDBC`
* `Hazelcast`



== Using a different session store
Initially, the project uses JDBC session store backed by an in-memory embedded H2
database. You can try out your favorite session store as explained below.



=== Redis
Add `org.springframework.session:spring-session-data-redis` and
`spring-boot-starter-data-redis` dependencies to the project and make sure it is
configured properly (by default, a Redis instance with the default settings is expected
on your local box).

TIP: Run sample application using Redis session store using
`$mvn spring-boot:run -Predis`.



=== JDBC
Add `org.springframework.session:spring-session-jdbc`,
`org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc` and `com.h2database:h2` dependencies
to the project. An in-memory embedded H2 database is automatically configured.

TIP: Run sample application using JDBC session store with
`$mvn spring-boot:run -Pjdbc`.

Note that this profile is active by default.



=== Hazelcast
Add `org.springframework.session:spring-session-hazelcast` and `com.hazelcast:hazelcast`
dependencies to the project to enable support for Hazelcast. Since there is a default
`hazelcast.xml` configuration file at the root of the classpath, it is used to
automatically configure the underlying `HazelcastInstance`.

TIP: Run sample application using Hazelcast session store with
`$mvn spring-boot:run -Phazelcast`.
