hi,
i have grown my own active session counting set up and it is definitely
*adding* sessions to the count, but i do not think it is ever removing
them.
here is my configuration:
1. i have an object called SessionCount that contains a HashSet of
session ids, and methods to add, remove, count, and list elements in
that HashSet.
2. i have a user object that gets bound to the session, so i caused that
user class to implement HttpSessionListener. Its sessionCreated() and
sessionDestroyed() methods execute SessionCount.addSession(sessionId)
and SessionCount.removeSession(sessionId), respectively.
3. i have this in my web.xml:
<!-- this listener causes the session expiration to become known to
the HPUser object in session -->
<listener>
<listener-class>com.happypuppy.util.HPUser</listener-class>
</listener>
first of all, bearing in mind TIMTOWTDI, and that this is the way i've
chosen *for now*, does this look right?
i've confirmed that it's not adding multiple entries for the same
session id, but on my dev server, where i *think* i am the only user, it
thinks there are 3 active sessions. this is after logging out, at which
point the session is manually destroyed, and logging back in.
TIA,
