Hi all,

Right now we're running our application in Tomcat and using hazelcast to
share information across our multiple instances. In an attempt to prevent
session fixation I implemented a tomcat valve which invalidates sessions
when a user authenticates (or in this case, just visits the authentication
endpoints). This is causing an issuue where our application proper isn't
getting notified of invalidated sessions and they're hanging around in the
hazelcast map.

I tried everything I could to fix the session fixation problem within the
scope of my application but no matter what I did it seemed like tomcat
would persist a users session even after invalidating it, so this was my
solution, and of course I face an equally annoying and difficult problem.

We're using tomcat7, apache 2.2 / mod_jk to load balance, spring 3.1, and
hazelcast 2.2

Any and all advice / tips / scorn appreciated. :-)
