All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Lifecycle, Store`

public final class FileStore extends StoreBase
Concrete implementation of the Store interface that utilizes a file per saved Session in a configured directory. Sessions that are saved are still subject to being expired based on inactivity.

## Constructor Details

### FileStore

public FileStore()

## Method Details

### getDirectory

public String getDirectory()

Returns:
  The directory path for this Store.

### setDirectory

public void setDirectory(String path)
Set the directory path for this Store.

Parameters:
  `path` - The new directory path

### getThreadName

public String getThreadName()

Returns:
  The thread name for this Store.

### getStoreName

public String getStoreName()

Overrides:
  `getStoreName` in class `StoreBase`
Returns:
  the name for this Store, used for logging.

### getSize

public int getSize() throws IOException

Returns:
  the number of Sessions present in this Store.
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

### clear

public void clear() throws IOException
Description copied from interface: `Store`
Remove all Sessions from this Store.

Throws:
  `IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

### keys

public String[] keys() throws IOException

Returns:
  an array containing the session identifiers of all Sessions currently saved in this Store. If there are no such Sessions, a zero-length array is returned.
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an input/output error occurred

### load

public Session load(String id) throws ClassNotFoundException, IOException
Description copied from interface: `Store`
Load and return the Session associated with the specified session identifier from this Store, without removing it. If there is no such stored Session, return `null`.

Implementations should expect, and correctly handle, concurrent calls to any method but in particular calls to `#load(String)`, `#save(Session)` and `#remove(String)` for the same session.

The session ID is user provided so stores must treat it as untrusted data.

Parameters:
  `id` - Session identifier of the session to load
Returns:
  the loaded Session instance
Throws:
  `ClassNotFoundException` - if a deserialization error occurs
  `IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

### remove

public void remove(String id) throws IOException
Description copied from interface: `Store`
Remove the Session with the specified session identifier from this Store, if present. If no such Session is present, this method takes no action.

Implementations should expect, and correctly handle, concurrent calls to any method but in particular calls to `#load(String)`, `#save(Session)` and `#remove(String)` for the same session.

The session ID is user provided so stores must treat it as untrusted data.

Parameters:
  `id` - Session identifier of the Session to be removed
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an input/output error occurs

### save

public void save(Session session) throws IOException
Description copied from interface: `Store`
Save the specified Session into this Store. Any previously saved information for the associated session identifier is replaced.

Implementations should expect, and correctly handle, concurrent calls to any method but in particular calls to `#load(String)`, `#save(Session)` and `#remove(String)` for the same session.

Parameters:
  `session` - Session to be saved
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an input/output error occurs
