Thanks much for the help, Robert. I added the "persistence-path" entry and
sessions now persist across restarts and shutdowns! Unfortunately if I make
a change to one of my servlets (and/or presumably beans) when the session is
next accessed a ClassCastException is thrown. If I do a restart after
changing a servlet then it seems to work ok. I assume I shouldn't have to
do a restart after any servlet/bean changes. Any ideas?
Thanks again for your help,
Brien Voorhees
Here's the exact error, by the way :

Subject: Re: Make changes without losing session?
sessions should be OK across server restarts as long as they contain only
serializable values or ejb references. you configure persistent sessions in
orion-web.xml of the particular web module via the persistence-path
attribute (see below).
<orion-web-app
deployment-version="1.1.8"
development="true"
persistence-path="../persistence/state.ser"
jsp-cache-directory="../persistence"
temporary-directory="./temp"
servlet-webdir="/servlet/"
