Interface Session

All Superinterfaces:

Attributes

All Known Implementing Classes:

ManagedSession

public interface Session
extends Attributes

The interface to a generic session associated with a request. This interface may be used directly, or it may be wrapped by an API specific representation of a session. Such wrappers must implement the Session.API sub interface.

Depending on the implementation the attribute values may be stored locally in memory or in a remote database. The instances of the attribute values may be different to those passed to Attributes.setAttribute(String, Object) or to those returned in previous Attributes.getAttribute(String) calls.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static interface	Session.API	An API wrapper of the core session.
static interface	Session.LifeCycleListener	Listener interface that if implemented by a value of an attribute of an enclosing Context at start, will be notified of session lifecycle events.
static interface	Session.ValueListener	Listener interface that if implemented by a session attribute value, will be notified of session value events.

Method Details

getSession

static Session getSession(Object session)

Get the session associated with an API session wrapper.

Parameters:

session - The API wrapper of the session

Returns:

The associated Session.

getApi

<T extends Session.API> T getApi()

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the API wrapper.

Returns:

An API wrapper of this session or null if there is none.

isValid

boolean isValid()

Returns:

true if the session is has not been invalidated nor expired due to inactivity.

getId

String getId()

Returns:

A identifier for the session. Depending on the implementation may be unique within the context, the server, the JVM or a cluster.

See Also:

• getExtendedId()

getExtendedId

String getExtendedId()

Returns:

The session identifier as returned by getId() extended with additional routing information. The additional information does not form part of the identity, but may be used by implementations and associated infrastructure to help route request for the same session to the same server.

getLastAccessedTime

long getLastAccessedTime()

Returns:

the time, as represented by System.currentTimeMillis(), that the session was last accessed by a request.

setMaxInactiveInterval

void setMaxInactiveInterval(int secs)

Parameters:

secs - The period in secs in which the session will remain valid (unless explicitly invalidated) when not accessed by any requests.

getMaxInactiveInterval

int getMaxInactiveInterval()

Returns:

The period in secs in which the session will remain valid (unless explicitly invalidated) when not accessed by any requests.

renewId

void renewId(Request request,
 Response response)

Renew the identity of the session. Typically, this is done after a change of authentication or confidentiality.

Parameters:

request - The request from which the session was obtained.

response - The response which may be updated with the new session identity.

invalidate

void invalidate()

Invalidate this session in the current context and all sessions of the same identity with associated contexts.

isNew

boolean isNew()
       throws IllegalStateException

Returns:

true if the session has been newly created within the scope of the current request.

Throws:

IllegalStateException

encodeURI

String encodeURI(Request request,
 String uri,
 boolean cookiesInUse)
