@SessionAttribute for Spring-Mvc

1. An annotation @SessionAttribute for Spring Mvc handler method parameters 2. An extensible Spring Mvc HandlerMethodArgumentResolver implementation

Enables this

  public String handleSomethingUsingSessionAttribute(
    @RequestParam String param1, 
    @SessionAttribue AuthenticationToken token) {
    
    // controller logic
  }

Options:

1. Specifying an attribute as Optional/Mandatory
2. Specifying to create a new instance of parameter if not found in session
3. Always create a new instance in session

Note:

I would'nt advice using http session in building spring mvc based web and REST applications, but if you have to, do it annotation driven and test driven.
