Interface SessionIdentifierAware

All Known Implementing Classes:

PreAuthenticatedGrantedAuthoritiesWebAuthenticationDetails, WebAuthenticationDetails

public interface SessionIdentifierAware

Implemented by Authentication.getDetails() implementations that are capable of returning a session ID.

This interface is used by SessionRegistryUtils to extract the session ID from an Authentication object. In turn, SessionRegistryUtils is used by ConcurrentSessionControllerImpl. If not using this latter implementation, you do not need the Authentication.getDetails() object to implement SessionIdentifierAware.
