Thanks for the reply,
The problem is that just setting, getting, or removing an attribute from the
session will not update the access time. This is what I was originally going to do,
but after looking at the tomcat source this is not the case.
I would prefer not to circumvent any tomcat or spec implementation. I am just
wondering if there is any other way to do this?
Our need for this is that we have a java application that is launched remotely
by a control web-page. As long as the remove application is active we do not want to
the session that launched it to die. Unfortunately these were the requirements given
to me, I just need to see if it is possible.
Thanks again,
Jay

Hi,
Why are you doing this at all? Any time you try to circumvent the Servlet
Specification this way, you'll get burned in the long run.
More specifically, any solution you come up with here will be specific not only to
tomcat, but to this tomcat version, as the fa�ade or its implementation may change
with future releases.
A neater way to do this if you have to, is to get the session, set and then remove an
attribute in it. That'll update the access time.
