I have found the answer and let me share it with others. The solution is HttpSessionActivationListener.
Write a class that implements HttpSessionActivationListener. And to your session add an attribute of this type. That's it. This doesn't go into web.xml (unlike HttpSessionListener). -Ajay -----Original Message----- From: Aggarwal, Ajay [mailto:ajay.aggar...@stratus.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 11:34 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: session listener and tomcat restart My requirements: 1) to be able to get the session given a JSESSIONID 2) to persist active sessions across tomcat restart (which is default tomcat behavior) Since there is no way in tomcat (for security reasons?) to obtain the session object given a JSESSIONID, I have implemented my own session listener, which maintains a hash of active sessions. Now I can obtain the session object given a JSESSIONID. However I am broken on tomcat restart. Because session listener does not notify me on the pre-existing active sessions upon restart. One solution is to implement my own persistence in my session listener code. Q1. However I was wondering if there is a way to influence session listener to notify me on the pre-existing active sessions upon tomcat restart? Q2. Is there another way to get the session given a JSESSIONID? Thanks. -Ajay --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
