Some classes can be shared across webapps, though the precise approach varies depending on the version. See the "Classloader how-to" for your Tomcat version at http://tomcat.apache.org for details. Pre-6.0, you could load a class through the common or shared classloaders; in 6.0, your options are reduced somewhat. That class could keep a common integer. It doesn't have to be a straight session count; you could weight it based on the relative sizes of the sessions. A heavy session increments the counter by 10, a light one by 1. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
