Also, it should be made clear that using this option to speed up the
initial http session creation comes at a cost of lower session
security...fine for development, probably not recommended for
deployment. But, of course, when deployed, this will only cause a delay
once each time you run Tomcat...not a big deal.
From Tomcat's server.xml file:
"You can also specify a "randomClass" attribute, which determines
a subclass of java.util.Random will be used for generating
session IDs.
By default this is "java.security.SecureRandom".
Specifying "java.util.Random" will speed up Tomcat startup,
but it will cause sessions to be less secure."
