# Spring Session Modules

In Spring Session 1.x, all of the Spring Session’s `SessionRepository` implementations were available within the `spring-session` artifact.
While convenient, this approach was not sustainable long-term as more features and `SessionRepository` implementations were added to the project.

With Spring Session 2.0, several modules were split off to be separate modules as well as managed repositories.
Spring Session for MongoDB was retired, but was later reactivated as a separate module.
As of Spring Session 2.6, Spring Session for MongoDB was merged back into Spring Session.

Now the situation with the various repositories and modules is as follows:

* [`spring-session` repository](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-session)

  * Hosts the Spring Session Core, Spring Session for MongoDB, Spring Session for Redis, Spring Session JDBC, and Spring Session Hazelcast modules.

* [`spring-session-data-geode` repository](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-session-data-geode)

  * Hosts the Spring Session Data Geode modules. Spring Session Data Geode has its own user guide, which you can find at the [[https://spring.io/projects/spring-session-data-geode#learn](https://spring.io/projects/spring-session-data-geode#learn) site].

Finally, Spring Session also provides a Maven BOM (“bill of materials”) module in order to help users with version management concerns:

* [`spring-session-bom` repository](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-session-bom)

  * Hosts the Spring Session BOM module
