Excessive session creation

[Peter Jacobs]

I'm replacing an obsolete Jetty 9 + Shiro site with vertx 4.2.7.

All is well except every GET of a static resource is generating a new session.  Any ideas on how to avoid this please?  If necessary I can create a seperate server on a different port without a session handler, but I guess I'm simply missing something in the server config.

            Router router = Router.router(vertx);
            router.route()
                    .handler(SessionHandler.create(sessionStore))
                    .handler(FaviconHandler.create(vertx,
                            SitesManager2.getSitesPath().resolve("favicon.ico").toString()))
                    .handler(LoggerHandler.create(LoggerFormat.TINY))
                    .handler(bodyHandler).handler(basicAuthHandler)
                    .handler(this::maintenanceFilter)
                    .handler(this::clientAccessFilter2);
            // static routes (new session every time...)
            router.get("/static/*").handler(StaticHandler.create());

            // other routes (existing session honoured)

            ...

TIA

There is a solution for your issue: you can set the SessionHandler as Lazy.

SessionHandler.create(sessionStore).setLazySession(true)

Thanks Nils for sharing the solution!

Perhaps this should be documented in https://vertx.io/docs/vertx-web/java/#_handling_sessions
