Cascade Broke Redis Session Persistence

Sessions are no longer persisting in Redis after Cascade refactored session configuration. Users are logged out when the application restarts, and distributed session management across multiple instances fails.

Cascade likely modified spring-session-redis configuration or removed crucial Redis repository setup during code reorganization.

Error Messages You Might See

Session not found in Redis RedisConnectionFactory bean not found Session serialization failed: NotSerializableException
Session not found in RedisRedisConnectionFactory bean not foundSession serialization failed: NotSerializableException

Common Causes

  1. Cascade removed @EnableRedisHttpSession annotation during class reorganization
  2. Redis connection beans deleted or modified by Cascade refactoring
  3. Session serialization methods broken by Cascade's object model changes
  4. Cascade added conflicting session configuration that overrides Redis setup

How to Fix It

Verify @EnableRedisHttpSession(maxInactiveIntervalInSeconds=...) is present on configuration class. Check RedisConnectionFactory bean exists and is properly configured. Ensure session serialization using Jackson or similar for object storage in Redis. Review git diff for removed @Bean methods related to session management.
