http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9227 Allow an empty value of a pathname in the StandardManager to disable the restart persistent sessions Summary: Allow an empty value of a pathname in the StandardManager to disable the restart persistent sessions Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.3 Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Catalina:Modules AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Allow pathname="" to disable persistence in the StandardManager as in this example: <Manager className="org.apache.catalina.session.StandardManager" pathname="" /> The source code for the StandardManager states that if the pathname is null, it will not use persistence. Not knowing how to set it to null from server.xml, I tried setting the pathname to an empty value (vs. the default SESSIONS.ser) and that seems to have disabled it. It didn't really disable it, but it couldn't create the relative file in the web application's work directory since it existed as the directory itself. I see exceptions in my log file...but at least my sessions are no longer persistent for this one application. You could probably put a bad file name with characters that are invalid for files of your O/S and get the same results. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
