Spring Session for Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire 2.1.2.RELEASE Available!

December 24, 2018

It is my pleasure to announce Spring Session for Apache Geode and Pivotal GemFire (SSDG), 2.1.2.RELEASE (official project site).

In addition to several new features and improvements that follow, SSDG 2.1.2.RELEASE builds on:

These bits will be picked up in Spring Boot 2.1.2.RELEASE and are available in Maven Central now.

You can easily switch from Apache Geode to Pivotal GemFire simply by changing your application dependency from

org.springframework.session:spring-session-data-geode:2.1.2.RELEASE

org.springframework.session:spring-session-data-gemfire:2.1.2.RELEASE

or vice versa.

Allow SessionRepository.save(:Session) for only non-dirty Sessions (additional details), minimizing network bandwidth.
Server-side configuration support for GemFire/Geode DataSerialization (Includes example).
Use only overridden/implemented SpringSessionGemFireConfigurer callback methods to affect configuration (additional details).
Simplified Delta Recording ([additional details]), reducing memory footprint.
Optimized Interest Registration for Session events, thereby reduction network bandwidth.
Support to expose Spring Session GemFire/Geode configuration as Properties in the Spring Environment, allowing settings to be injected and inspected at runtime.
