Thanks for the hints mark, I just read through the code and that answers some of my questions.
The docs says that org.apache.catalina.session. StandardSession.ACTIVITY_CHECK should be true and that Tomcat will track the number of active requests for each session. what do the docs mean by active request? is there such a thing as a non active request?
