StandardSession (Apache Tomcat 10.1.54 API Documentation)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.catalina.session, class: StandardSession

# Class StandardSession

java.lang.Object
org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `HttpSession, Serializable, Session`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `DeltaSession`

public class StandardSession extends Object implements HttpSession, Session, Serializable
Standard implementation of the Session interface. This object is serializable, so that it can be stored in persistent storage or transferred to a different JVM for distributable session support.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: If you add fields to this class, you must make sure that you carry them over in the read/writeObject methods so that this class is properly serialized.

      an `Enumeration` of `String` objects specifying the names of all the objects bound to this session

  - ### invalidate

    public void invalidate()
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.http.HttpSession`
    Invalidates this session then unbinds any objects bound to it.
    Specified by:
      `invalidate` in interface `HttpSession`

  - ### isNew

    public boolean isNew()
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.http.HttpSession`
    Returns `true` if the client does not yet know about the session or if the client chooses not to join the session. For example, if the server used only cookie-based sessions, and the client had disabled the use of cookies, then a session would be new on each request.
    Specified by:
      `isNew` in interface `HttpSession`
    Returns:
      `true` if the server has created a session, but the client has not yet joined

  - ### removeAttribute

    public void removeAttribute(String name)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.http.HttpSession`
    Removes the object bound with the specified name from this session. If the session does not have an object bound with the specified name, this method does nothing.

    After this method executes, and if the object implements `HttpSessionBindingListener`, the container calls `HttpSessionBindingListener.valueUnbound`. The container then notifies any `HttpSessionAttributeListener`s in the web application.

    Specified by:
      `removeAttribute` in interface `HttpSession`
    Parameters:
      `name` - the name of the object to remove from this session

  - ### removeAttribute

    public void removeAttribute(String name, boolean notify)
    Remove the object bound with the specified name from this session. If the session does not have an object bound with this name, this method does nothing.

    After this method executes, and if the object implements `HttpSessionBindingListener`, the container calls `valueUnbound()` on the object.

    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of the object to remove from this session.
      `notify` - Should we notify interested listeners that this attribute is being removed?
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this method is called on an invalidated session

  - ### setAttribute

    public void setAttribute(String name, Object value)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.http.HttpSession`
    Binds an object to this session, using the name specified. If an object of the same name is already bound to the session, the object is replaced.

    After this method executes, and if the new object implements `HttpSessionBindingListener`, the container calls `HttpSessionBindingListener.valueBound`. The container then notifies any `HttpSessionAttributeListener`s in the web application.

    If an object was already bound to this session of this name that implements `HttpSessionBindingListener`, its `HttpSessionBindingListener.valueUnbound` method is called.

    If the value passed in is null, this has the same effect as calling `removeAttribute()`.

    Specified by:
      `setAttribute` in interface `HttpSession`
    Parameters:
      `name` - the name to which the object is bound; cannot be null
      `value` - the object to be bound

  - ### setAttribute

    public void setAttribute(String name, Object value, boolean notify)
    Bind an object to this session, using the specified name. If an object of the same name is already bound to this session, the object is replaced.

    After this method executes, and if the object implements `HttpSessionBindingListener`, the container calls `valueBound()` on the object.

    Parameters:
      `name` - Name to which the object is bound, cannot be null
      `value` - Object to be bound, cannot be null
      `notify` - whether to notify session listeners
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if an attempt is made to add a non-serializable object in an environment marked distributable.
      `IllegalStateException` - if this method is called on an invalidated session

  - ### isValidInternal

    protected boolean isValidInternal()
    Returns:
      the `isValid` flag for this session without any expiration check.

  - ### isAttributeDistributable

    public boolean isAttributeDistributable(String name, Object value)
    Does the session implementation support the distributing of the given attribute? If the Manager is marked as distributable, then this method must be used to check attributes before adding them to a session and an `IllegalArgumentException` thrown if the proposed attribute is not distributable.

    Note that the `Manager` implementation may further restrict which attributes are distributed but a `Manager` level restriction should not trigger an `IllegalArgumentException` in `HttpSession.setAttribute(String, Object)`

    This implementation simply checks the value for serializability. Subclasses might use other distribution technology not based on serialization and can override this check.

    Specified by:
      `isAttributeDistributable` in interface `Session`
    Parameters:
      `name` - The attribute name
      `value` - The attribute value
    Returns:
      `true` if distribution is supported, otherwise `false`

  - ### doReadObject

    protected void doReadObject(ObjectInputStream stream) throws ClassNotFoundException, IOException
    Read a serialized version of this session object from the specified object input stream.

    IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: The reference to the owning Manager is not restored by this method, and must be set explicitly.

    Parameters:
      `stream` - The input stream to read from
    Throws:
      `ClassNotFoundException` - if an unknown class is specified
      `IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

  - ### doWriteObject

    protected void doWriteObject(ObjectOutputStream stream) throws IOException
    Write a serialized version of this session object to the specified object output stream.

    IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: The owning Manager will not be stored in the serialized representation of this Session. After calling `readObject()`, you must set the associated Manager explicitly.

    IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: Any attribute that is not Serializable will be unbound from the session, with appropriate actions if it implements HttpSessionBindingListener. If you do not want any such attributes, be sure the `distributable` property of the associated Manager is set to `true`.

    Parameters:
      `stream` - The output stream to write to
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

  - ### exclude

    protected boolean exclude(String name, Object value)
    Should the given session attribute be excluded? This implementation checks:
    - `Constants.excludedAttributeNames`
    - `Manager.willAttributeDistribute(String, Object)`
    Note: This method deliberately does not check `isAttributeDistributable(String, Object)` which is kept separate to support the checks required in `setAttribute(String, Object, boolean)`
    Parameters:
      `name` - The attribute name
      `value` - The attribute value
    Returns:
      `true` if the attribute should be excluded from distribution, otherwise `false`

  - ### fireSessionEvent

    public void fireSessionEvent(String type, Object data)
    Notify all session event listeners that a particular event has occurred for this Session. The default implementation performs this notification synchronously using the calling thread.
    Parameters:
      `type` - Event type
      `data` - Event data

  - ### keys

    protected String[] keys()
    Returns:
      the names of all currently defined session attributes as an array of Strings. If there are no defined attributes, a zero-length array is returned.

  - ### removeAttributeInternal

    protected void removeAttributeInternal(String name, boolean notify)
    Remove the object bound with the specified name from this session. If the session does not have an object bound with this name, this method does nothing.

    After this method executes, and if the object implements `HttpSessionBindingListener`, the container calls `valueUnbound()` on the object.

    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of the object to remove from this session.
      `notify` - Should we notify interested listeners that this attribute is being removed?
