Re: StandardSession class question

I agree.   It also messes with session persistence.

It looks like the StandardSession class, in the 4.x line, uses two 
variables
thisAccessedTime and lastAccessedTime to keep track of the sessions 
last
accessed time.  The method access(), which is called in the 
StandardHostValue
class every time a user makes a request, contains the following code:

    public void access() {
        this.isNew = false;
        this.lastAccessedTime = this.thisAccessedTime;
        this.thisAccessedTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    }
The problem is that lastAccessedTime is used to determine if the 
session has
expired.  So it takes two "clicks" by a user to keep their session 
active.
The variable thisAccessedTime is private and not really used except in 
this
method.  My question is why is this done?  Is there some reason why the
thisAccessedTime variable is needed at all?  It seems like setting
lastAccessedTime equal the System.currentTimeMillis() would work as 
expected
and keep the session alive with only one "click".  I've made this 
change and
it looks to work.
