Really nice.
I am just wondering about one thing - about "persistent sessions". I have a session counter based on the SessionListeners. It is increased when some session is created and decreased when the session is destroyed. So, when I restart the Tomcat server some sessions are recreated but counter state doesn't. Therefore, after session timeout, the counter status is negative.
It's not problem for me, it is enough for my purposes. I am just wondering how do you solve this behaviour?
