A few questions: 1) does the session listener document when sessions are destroyed?
2) are there other servlets in your web app that might be causing the activity? 3) what does your access_log indicate in the way of inbound requests? -Mike -----Original Message----- From: Cindy Ballreich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 1:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Too Many Sessions! I'm using Tomcat 4.1.12 on a NT 4.0 system. I've been watching my logs and I'm noticing a lot of sessions being created for no apparent reason when there is no user activity on the system and no activity (as far as I can tell) in my servlet. Here's a sample from the logs... 2002-10-09 11:05:15 SessionListener: sessionCreated('3A797C529EA64DFE2835FC163C808C74') 2002-10-09 11:06:15 SessionListener: sessionCreated('62DB4B6BBFD87BD901CD67925BB7BA95') 2002-10-09 11:07:15 SessionListener: sessionCreated('35769A4EDF71CA68BAA0B14F6B64348B') 2002-10-09 11:08:15 SessionListener: sessionCreated('D6A1C6EC234A30520747F2F5B09DD202') 2002-10-09 11:09:15 SessionListener: sessionCreated('8B0C9B610F981455C3FE6AA2F91E21E7') 2002-10-09 11:10:15 SessionListener: sessionCreated('A1E38AF2FD1205E17D50FF3076AF5321') 2002-10-09 11:11:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('86F7A09B20EFE4543C616B06CEC466A5') 2002-10-09 11:12:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('D412A5666498AC7AB6BF399528ECEAE3') 2002-10-09 11:13:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('C0BE7ED4A39351037FFD31888895F2FF') 2002-10-09 11:14:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('3A0636F5D4D9792046D34A93B73C0ACC') 2002-10-09 11:15:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('E88FF2298D7B759935645E9C1C42DC12') 2002-10-09 11:16:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('F7AC12D14074EA64011E68B6F172D11E') 2002-10-09 11:17:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('E92ECABF368D493D153C47C226FF866F') 2002-10-09 11:18:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('E9F98E0A3EA854651E1B0D4CCF733FC2') 2002-10-09 11:19:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('F801FDE7AEEBEE752557FB3643508588') 2002-10-09 11:20:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('97C59E7E75185C5827FA884FA11F61FC') 2002-10-09 11:21:16 SessionListener: sessionCreated('EF50BAF04FE94D93A24F5CD4520BC613') So you can see that about once per minute a new session is being created. I can't see (from the listeners) that any of these sessions are ever destroyed. Can anyone give me an idea of why this is happening and if it's part of a normal Tomcat process, or might be the result of something stupid I might be doing in my servlet. I'd be happy to provide more info.
