This plugin adds a Tomcat valve that will ensure that any data placed in the session (including the Flash scope) is serializable according to the Java Serializable conventions.
- Logs whenever a serialisation error has been detected.
- Optionally throw an exception to present a 500 error during the request.
- Optional exit the VM when a serialization error is detected. This is useful when used in concert with a good set of HTTP based functional tests (eg selenium /Geb)
- Replaces the session contents with the data that has been de/serialized, ensuring a similar process is applied at development as at producton time.
The following configuration options are available, with their defaults
serializableSessions {
throwExceptionOnFailure = true
systemExitOnFailure = false
replaceSession = true
}
throwExceptionOnFailure indicates whether the system should fail the request by throwing an exception, this will generate an http 500 error when a serialization error occurs
systemExitOnFailure indicates that the entire VM should be shut down when serialization occurrs. This is a good way to enforce rapid fixing of serialization errors as they are created.
replaceSession indicates whether the contents of the session should be replaced by the new de/serialized contents.
Update to grails 2.3.
Addition of the replaceSession option and feature.
