/**
 * Uses {@code HttpServletRequest.invalidate()} to protect against session fixation
 * attacks.
 * <p>
 * Creates a new session for the newly authenticated user if they already have a session
 * (as a defence against session-fixation protection attacks), and copies their session
 * attributes across to the new session. The copying of the attributes can be disabled by
 * setting {@code migrateSessionAttributes} to {@code false} (note that even in this case,
 * internal Spring Security attributes will still be migrated to the new session).
 * <p>
 * This approach will only be effective if your servlet container always assigns a new
 * session Id when a session is invalidated and a new session created by calling
 * {@link HttpServletRequest#getSession()}.
 * <p>
 * <h3>Issues with {@code HttpSessionBindingListener}</h3>
 * <p>
 * The migration of existing attributes to the newly-created session may cause problems if
 * any of the objects implement the {@code HttpSessionBindingListener} interface in a way
 * which makes assumptions about the life-cycle of the object. An example is the use of
 * Spring session-scoped beans, where the initial removal of the bean from the session
 * will cause the {@code DisposableBean} interface to be invoked, in the assumption that
 * the bean is no longer required.
 * <p>
 * We'd recommend that you take account of this when designing your application and do not
 * store attributes which may not function correctly when they are removed and then placed
 * back in the session. Alternatively, you should customize the
 * {@code SessionAuthenticationStrategy} to deal with the issue in an application-specific
 * way.
