public class SessionTrackerFilter extends jakarta.servlet.http.HttpFilter
An HTTP filter implementation that serializes and persists HTTP session on a distributed storage at the end of the request. This filter uses a SessionSerializer component to serialize and persist the HTTP session. Furthermore, it should be used in combination with SessionListener, the component responsible for retrieve the session attributes from the distributed storage and populate the HTTP session. A unique identifier is assigned to valid HTTP sessions and sent to the client as a tracking HTTP Cookie. The same identifier is used to associate the session within the distributed storage. If the HTTP request has not a valid session but the tracking Cookie exists, the filter forces the creation of a new HTTP session, that is then populated with data from the distributed storage by SessionListener. The filter acts only on requests handled by Vaadin Flow.
