Nope. Nothing has changed in the session serialization code since the
Tomcat 4.1.x days. It still works exactly the same way.

Only if you have configured Tomcat to place them somewhere else.
NOPE, I have NOT changed the configuration AND YES I download directly from ASF.

I assume you are placing these beans in the session.
YES, they need to be found by other beans.

Have you tried reading the manual for the session manager you are using?
You could start here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/manager.html#Disable_Session_Persistence
Thanks, ON IT.

If sessions are serialised, the file will be created wherever you tell
Tomcat to create it.

Ah. If you are using a Fedora packaged version of Tomcat I suggest you
direct your enquires to whomever maintains that package and ask them
where they opted to move the session serialization files to.
Alternatively you could remove the 3rd party packaged version of Tomcat,
download Tomcat from the ASF and install it in your location of choice
so you know exactly where every single file is that Tomcat is using.
Yes I download and run fedora, yes I download Tomcat DIRECTLY from ASF.
No packages.
Will read your link and thanks. Best.
