Is there any support or plan to support WebSession with GemFire/Geode? Currently I can only find support for Redis and Map based Reactive Session management within the Spring Session project.

2This seems like something that could be answered by reading documentation and/or the Spring Session issues/backlog – Darren Forsythe Feb 13 '20 at 23:59

Currently, there is no immediate plans to support WebSessions (i.e. Reactive Sessions) with Apache Geode, or by extension, Pivotal GemFire in Spring Session for Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire (SSDG).
Much of this has to do with the fact that neither Apache Geode nor Pivotal GemFire is truly Reactive under-the-hood and therefore, does not provide a Reactive Java Client Driver. Additionally, most of the data access operations between a Spring Session client and GemFire/Geode server/cluster, are get and put operations, which are not even Async, much less Reactive.
However, Reactive types wrapping some GemFire/Geode Async operations (e.g. CQ) are being explored, as can be tracked in DATAGEODE-256. Once the support in SDG is built, then SSDG can follow. NOTE: SSDG builds on SDG as does some of the other Spring Session modules (e.g. Spring Session Data Redis and Spring Session Data MongoDB). This effort should begin sometime mid-2020.
Feedback and/or contributions are always welcomed. Use SSDG Issues or PRs for providing feedback.
Hope this helps clarify our current position on the matter.
