Method Detail

isHttpSessionMode

boolean isHttpSessionMode()

Security information needs to be retained from request to request, so Shiro makes use of a session for this. Typically, a security manager will use the servlet container's HTTP session but custom session implementations, for example based on EhCache, may also be used. This method indicates whether the security manager is using the HTTP session or not.

Returns:

true if the security manager is using the HTTP session; otherwise, false.
