Previously Spring Security would disable automatically saving the
SecurityContext when the Thread was different than the Thread that
created the SaveContextOnUpdateOrErrorResponseWrapper. This worked for
many cases, but could cause issues when a timeout occurred. The problem
is that a Thread can be reused to process the timeout since the Threads
are pooled. This means that a timeout of a request trigger an apparent
logout as described in the following workflow:
- The SecurityContext was established on the SecurityContextHolder
- An Async request was made
- The SecurityContextHolder would be cleared out
- The Async request times out
- The Async request would be dispatched back to the container upon
timing out. If the container reused the same Thread to process the
timeout as the original request, Spring Security would attempt to
save the SecurityContext when the response was committed. Since the
SecurityContextHolder was still cleared out it removes the
SecurityContext from the HttpSession
Spring Security will now prevent the SecurityContext from automatically
being saved when the response is committed as soon as
HttpServletRequest#startAsync() or
ServletRequest#startAsync(ServletRequest,ServletResponse) is called.
