Jetty 8 and memcached sessions

Today I changed Uutispuro into using memcached as a session store.


Basically I followed the instructions from https://github.com/yyuu/jetty-nosql-memcached with minor tweaks.

etc/jetty.xml

  <Set name="sessionIdManager">
    <New id="memcachedSessionIdManager" class="org.eclipse.jetty.nosql.memcached.MemcachedSessionIdManager">
      <Arg><Ref id="Server" /></Arg>
      <Set name="serverString">localhost:11211</Set>
      <Set name="keyPrefix">session:</Set>
    </New>
  </Set>
  <Call name="setAttribute">
    <Arg>memcachedSessionIdManager</Arg>
    <Arg><Ref id="memcachedSessionIdManager" /></Arg>
  </Call>

contexts/uutiset.xml

  <Ref name="Server" id="Server">

    <Call id="sessionIdManager" name="getAttribute">

      <Arg>memcachedSessionIdManager</Arg>

    </Call>

  </Ref>

  <Set name="sessionHandler">

    <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler">

      <Arg>

        <New id="memcachedSessionManager" class="org.eclipse.jetty.nosql.memcached.MemcachedSessionManager">

          <Set name="sessionIdManager">

            <Ref id="sessionIdManager" />

          </Set>

        </New>

      </Arg>

    </New>

  </Set>

At the moment I have two jetty's running and I can stop each one of them at any time and user stays logged in as nothing has happened.
