Description

We should document how to encode the session to:

  • improve performance
  • allow attribute changes passively

See https://github.com/eishay/jvm-serializers/wiki for performance

Related (possibly distinct ticket) we should provide mechanisms to persist common objects (i.e. SecurityContext, CsrfToken, etc)

Research direction

Review the existing Spring Session documentation and session serialization behavior, then compare available encoding approaches with the linked JVM serializers reference. Document how custom encoding could improve performance and permit passive attribute changes; keep the separate question of persisting common objects such as SecurityContext and CsrfToken distinct unless its scope is clarified.
