How to manage user session in Spring MVC

Question

I am migrating java struts 1.1 application to Spring MVC. I have a question about how to handle user session, multiple users concurrently can log in and use this application. Which is normal for any application. Do I need to take care of anything specifically to manage user sessions just to make sure one user's activity should not be updating other user's activity/data. I will be using the bean scopes as it is in spring mvc style.

Any suggestions on this please?

Answer 1

Spring MVC just like Struts are based on Servlets and need to handle user session the same way. You can access HttpSession in Spring Controller using RequestContextHolder or just declare it as parameter in your controller method.

Answer 2

You use HandlerInterceptorAdapter and Spring Security Session management. HTTP Session management is very important. Spring already provided.
