Interface SessionIdentifierCodec

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleSessionIdentifierCodec

public interface SessionIdentifierCodec

Encapsulates logic to encode/decode additional information in/from a session identifier. Both the encode(CharSequence) and decode(CharSequence) methods should be idempotent. The codec methods should also be symmetrical. i.e. the result of decode(encode(x)) should yield x, just as the result of encode(decode(y)) should yield y.
