Description
Manuel EVENO (Migrated from SEC-2437) said:
The class org.springframework.security.web.context.HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository uses a response wrapper to check if the security context should be updated in http session.
The condition to determine a necessary update are defined in the following private method :
org.springframework.security.web.context.HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository.SaveToSessionResponseWrapper.contextChanged(SecurityContext)
You should define a custom strategy object we can change to allow us custom context change detection.

Research direction
Start by reading org.springframework.security.web.context.HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository and its SaveToSessionResponseWrapper.contextChanged(SecurityContext) method. Trace how the response wrapper decides whether to update the HTTP session. Done means providing a configurable strategy object for custom security-context change detection and confirming the existing behavior remains supported.
