    • Method Detail

      • getId

        public Serializable getId()
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Returns the unique identifier assigned by the system upon session creation.

        All return values from this method are expected to have proper toString(), equals(), and hashCode() implementations. Good candidates for such an identifier are UUIDs, Integers, and Strings.
        Specified by:
        getId in interface Session
        Returns:
        The unique identifier assigned to the session upon creation.

      • getStartTimestamp

        public Date getStartTimestamp()
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Returns the time the session was started; that is, the time the system created the instance.
        Specified by:
        getStartTimestamp in interface Session
        Returns:
        The time the system created the session.

      • setStartTimestamp

        public void setStartTimestamp(Date startTimestamp)

      • getStopTimestamp

        public Date getStopTimestamp()
        Returns the time the session was stopped, or null if the session is still active.

        A session may become stopped under a number of conditions:
        • If the user logs out of the system, their current session is terminated (released).
        • If the session expires
        • The application explicitly calls stop()
        • If there is an internal system error and the session state can no longer accurately reflect the user's behavior, such in the case of a system crash

        Once stopped, a session may no longer be used. It is locked from all further activity.
        Returns:
        The time the session was stopped, or null if the session is still active.

      • setStopTimestamp

        public void setStopTimestamp(Date stopTimestamp)

      • getLastAccessTime

        public Date getLastAccessTime()
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Returns the last time the application received a request or method invocation from the user associated with this session. Application calls to this method do not affect this access time.
        Specified by:
        getLastAccessTime in interface Session
        Returns:
        The time the user last interacted with the system.
        See Also:
        Session.touch()

      • setLastAccessTime

        public void setLastAccessTime(Date lastAccessTime)

      • isExpired

        public boolean isExpired()
        Returns true if this session has expired, false otherwise. If the session has expired, no further user interaction with the system may be done under this session.
        Returns:
        true if this session has expired, false otherwise.

      • setExpired

        public void setExpired(boolean expired)

      • getTimeout

        public long getTimeout()
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Returns the time in milliseconds that the session session may remain idle before expiring.
        • A negative return value means the session will never expire.
        • A non-negative return value (0 or greater) means the session expiration will occur if idle for that length of time.
        *Note: if you are used to the HttpSession's getMaxInactiveInterval() method, the scale on this method is different: Shiro Sessions use millisecond values for timeout whereas HttpSession.getMaxInactiveInterval uses seconds. Always use millisecond values with Shiro sessions.
        Specified by:
        getTimeout in interface Session
        Returns:
        the time in milliseconds the session may remain idle before expiring.

      • setTimeout

        public void setTimeout(long timeout)
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Sets the time in milliseconds that the session may remain idle before expiring.
        • A negative value means the session will never expire.
        • A non-negative value (0 or greater) means the session expiration will occur if idle for that length of time.

        *Note: if you are used to the HttpSession's getMaxInactiveInterval() method, the scale on this method is different: Shiro Sessions use millisecond values for timeout whereas HttpSession.getMaxInactiveInterval uses seconds. Always use millisecond values with Shiro sessions.
        Specified by:
        setTimeout in interface Session
        Parameters:
        timeout - the time in milliseconds that the session may remain idle before expiring.

      • getHost

        public String getHost()
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Returns the host name or IP string of the host that originated this session, or null if the host is unknown.
        Specified by:
        getHost in interface Session
        Returns:
        the host name or IP string of the host that originated this session, or null if the host address is unknown.

      • setHost

        public void setHost(String host)

      • setAttributes

        public void setAttributes(Map<Object,Object> attributes)

      • touch

        public void touch()
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Explicitly updates the lastAccessTime of this session to the current time when this method is invoked. This method can be used to ensure a session does not time out.

        Most programmers won't use this method directly and will instead rely on the last access time to be updated automatically as a result of an incoming web request or remote procedure call/method invocation.

        However, this method is particularly useful when supporting rich-client applications such as Java Web Start app, Java or Flash applets, etc. Although rare, it is possible in a rich-client environment that a user continuously interacts with the client-side application without a server-side method call ever being invoked. If this happens over a long enough period of time, the user's server-side session could time-out. Again, such cases are rare since most rich-clients frequently require server-side method invocations.

        In this example though, the user's session might still be considered valid because the user is actively "using" the application, just not communicating with the server. But because no server-side method calls are invoked, there is no way for the server to know if the user is sitting idle or not, so it must assume so to maintain session integrity. This touch() method could be invoked by the rich-client application code during those times to ensure that the next time a server-side method is invoked, the invocation will not throw an ExpiredSessionException. In short terms, it could be used periodically to ensure a session does not time out.

        How often this rich-client "maintenance" might occur is entirely dependent upon the application and would be based on variables such as session timeout configuration, usage characteristics of the client application, network utilization and application server performance.

      • stop

        public void stop()
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Explicitly stops (invalidates) this session and releases all associated resources.

        If this session has already been authenticated (i.e. the Subject that owns this session has logged-in), calling this method explicitly might have undesired side effects:

        It is common for a Subject implementation to retain authentication state in the Session. If the session is explicitly stopped by application code by calling this method directly, it could clear out any authentication state that might exist, thereby effectively "unauthenticating" the Subject.

        As such, you might consider logging-out the 'owning' Subject instead of manually calling this method, as a log out is expected to stop the corresponding session automatically, and also allows framework code to execute additional cleanup logic.
        Specified by:
        stop in interface Session

      • isStopped

        protected boolean isStopped()

      • expire

        protected void expire()

      • isTimedOut

        protected boolean isTimedOut()
        Determines if this session is expired.
        Returns:
        true if the specified session has expired, false otherwise.

      • getAttributeKeys

        public Collection<Object> getAttributeKeys()
                                    throws InvalidSessionException
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Returns the keys of all the attributes stored under this session. If there are no attributes, this returns an empty collection.
        Specified by:
        getAttributeKeys in interface Session
        Returns:
        the keys of all attributes stored under this session, or an empty collection if there are no session attributes.
        Throws:
        InvalidSessionException - if this session has stopped or expired prior to calling this method.

      • getAttribute

        public Object getAttribute(Object key)
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Returns the object bound to this session identified by the specified key. If there is no object bound under the key, null is returned.
        Specified by:
        getAttribute in interface Session
        Parameters:
        key - the unique name of the object bound to this session
        Returns:
        the object bound under the specified key name or null if there is no object bound under that name.

      • setAttribute

        public void setAttribute(Object key,
                         Object value)
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Binds the specified value to this session, uniquely identified by the specified key name. If there is already an object bound under the key name, that existing object will be replaced by the new value.

        If the value parameter is null, it has the same effect as if removeAttribute was called.
        Specified by:
        setAttribute in interface Session
        Parameters:
        key - the name under which the value object will be bound in this session
        value - the object to bind in this session.

      • removeAttribute

        public Object removeAttribute(Object key)
        Description copied from interface: Session
        Removes (unbinds) the object bound to this session under the specified key name.
        Specified by:
        removeAttribute in interface Session
        Parameters:
        key - the name uniquely identifying the object to remove
        Returns:
        the object removed or null if there was no object bound under the name key.

      • equals

        public boolean equals(Object obj)
        Returns true if the specified argument is an instanceof SimpleSession and both ids are equal. If the argument is a SimpleSession and either 'this' or the argument does not yet have an ID assigned, the value of onEquals is returned, which does a necessary attribute-based comparison when IDs are not available.

        Do your best to ensure SimpleSession instances receive an ID very early in their lifecycle to avoid the more expensive attributes-based comparison.
        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
        Parameters:
        obj - the object to compare with this one for equality.
        Returns:
        true if this object is equivalent to the specified argument, false otherwise.

      • onEquals

        protected boolean onEquals(SimpleSession ss)
        Provides an attribute-based comparison (no ID comparison) - incurred only when 'this' or the session object being compared for equality do not have a session id.
        Parameters:
        ss - the SimpleSession instance to compare for equality.
        Returns:
        true if all the attributes, except the id, are equal to this object's attributes.
        Since:
        1.0

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Returns the hashCode. If the id is not null, its hashcode is returned immediately. If it is null, an attributes-based hashCode will be calculated and returned.

        Do your best to ensure SimpleSession instances receive an ID very early in their lifecycle to avoid the more expensive attributes-based calculation.
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
        Returns:
        this object's hashCode
        Since:
        1.0

      • toString

        public String toString()
        Returns the string representation of this SimpleSession, equal to getClass().getName() + ",id=" + getId().
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        the string representation of this SimpleSession, equal to getClass().getName() + ",id=" + getId().
        Since:
        1.0
