Hi, I am trying to understand the settings on the persistent session manager on tomcat 6 and 7. It seems that the persistent session manager is primarily meant for the purpose of swapping IDLE sessions to persistent storage and then hope that they expire, I can see the value of this given that many users abandon sites without logging out. It also seems that the persisent manager is not designed to persist every session at the end of every request so that at the start of every request the session is read from the store and the end of the request the session is written to store, is this understanding correct.
I have also been puzzling over the meanings of maxIdleSwap vs. maxIdleBackup not sure why these two settings exist or what is difference between them and the practical use case for them? It is clear to me what the idle session is but what is meant by backup and how is it different than a swap?
