Example on how to use Spring Session with Redis
Externalize session information to Redis using Spring projects
When working on a multi-instance web application, application state must be all externalized from the web servers. Users’ session information are by default stored in-memory by the web servers, such as Wildfly or Apache Tomcat.
In order to resolve this matter the architecture demo implemented here stores session information on Redis (follow the link for more information) so when a web server is down others have access to the sessions this server was handling requests from.
See this blog post for further information.
Before running this demo, make sure you have Redis running.
You may either install it or run its Docker image.
Default Redis host and port:
127.0.0.1:6379
