+= Spring Session - Grails
+Eric Helgeson
+:toc:
+
+This guide describes how to use Spring Session to transparently leverage Redis to back a web application's `HttpSession` when using Grails 3.1
+
+NOTE: Grails 3.1 is based off spring boot 1.3 so much of the advanced configuration and options can be found in the boot docs as well.
+
+NOTE: The completed guide can be found in the <<grails3-sample, Grails 3 sample application>>.
+
+== Updating Dependencies
+Before you use Spring Session, you must ensure to update your dependencies.
+We assume you are working with a working Grails 3.1 web profile.
+Add the following dependencies:
+
+.build.gradle
+[source,groovy]
+[subs="verbatim,attributes"]
+----
+dependencies {
+    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-redis'
+    compile 'org.springframework.session:spring-session:{spring-session-version}'
+}
+----
+
+ifeval::["{version-snapshot}" == "true"]
+Since We are using a SNAPSHOT version, we need to ensure to add the Spring Snapshot Maven Repository.
+Ensure you have the following in your pom.xml:
+
+.build.gradle
+[source,groovy]
+----
+repositories {
+    maven {
+        url 'https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot'
+    }
+}
+----
+endif::[]
+
+ifeval::["{version-milestone}" == "true"]
+Since We are using a Milestone version, we need to ensure to add the Spring Milestone Maven Repository.
+Ensure you have the following in your pom.xml:
+
+.build.gradle
+[source,groovy]
+----
+repositories {
+    maven {
+        url 'https://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone'
+    }
+}
+----
+endif::[]
+
+[[grails3-redis-configuration]]
+== Configuring the Redis Connection
+
+Spring Boot automatically creates a `RedisConnectionFactory` that connects Spring Session to a Redis Server on localhost on port 6379 (default port).
+In a production environment you need to ensure to update your configuration to point to your Redis server.
+For example, you can include the following in your *application.yml*
+
+.grails-app/conf/application.yml
+[source,yml]
+----
+---
+spring:
+  redis:
+    host: localhost
+    password: secret
+    port: 6397
+----
+
+For more information, refer to http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-connecting-to-redis[Connecting to Redis] portion of the Spring Boot documentation.
+
+[[grails3-sample]]
+== Grails 3 Sample Application
+
+The Grails 3 Sample Application demonstrates how to use Spring Session to transparently leverage Redis to back a web application's `HttpSession` when using Grails.
+
+[[grails3-running]]
+=== Running the Grails 3 Sample Application
+
+You can run the sample by obtaining the {download-url}[source code] and invoking the following command:
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+For the sample to work, you must http://redis.io/download[install Redis 2.8+] on localhost and run it with the default port (6379).
+Alternatively, you can update the `JedisConnectionFactory` to point to a Redis server.
+====
+
+----
+$ ./gradlew :samples:grails3:bootRun
+----
+
+You should now be able to access the application at http://localhost:8080/test/index
+
+[[grails3-explore]]
+=== Exploring the security Sample Application
+
+Try using the application. Enter the following to log in:
+
+* **Username** _user_
+* **Password** _password_
+
+Now click the **Login** button.
+You should now see a message indicating your are logged in with the user entered previously.
+The user's information is stored in Redis rather than Tomcat's `HttpSession` implementation.
+
+[[grails3-how]]
+=== How does it work?
+
+Instead of using Tomcat's `HttpSession`, we are actually persisting the values in Redis.
+Spring Session replaces the `HttpSession` with an implementation that is backed by Redis.
+When Spring Security's `SecurityContextPersistenceFilter` saves the `SecurityContext` to the `HttpSession` it is then persisted into Redis.
+
+When a new `HttpSession` is created, Spring Session creates a cookie named SESSION in your browser that contains the id of your session.
+Go ahead and view the cookies (click for help with https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/resources#cookies[Chrome] or https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Cookies_Panel#Cookies_List[Firefox]).
+
+If you like, you can easily remove the session using redis-cli. For example, on a Linux based system you can type:
+
+	$ redis-cli keys '*' | xargs redis-cli del
+
+TIP: The Redis documentation has instructions for http://redis.io/topics/quickstart[installing redis-cli].
+
+Alternatively, you can also delete the explicit key. Enter the following into your terminal ensuring to replace `7e8383a4-082c-4ffe-a4bc-c40fd3363c5e` with the value of your SESSION cookie:
+
+	$ redis-cli del spring:session:sessions:7e8383a4-082c-4ffe-a4bc-c40fd3363c5e
+
+Now visit the application at http://localhost:8080/test/index and observe that we are no longer authenticated.
