I am new to Tomcat and interested in learning how to works internally. I was reading the following thread on JavaRanch but it did not give a concrete answer-:
http://www.coderanch.com/t/467039/Tomcat/sessions-stored Does the container use an Array-List or a HashMap to store the HTTPSessions ? What is the limit of the maximum sessions ? Are the sessions stored in RAM ? I am aware that persistent sessions will need a data-store/database to the sessions. But how does it handle the non persistent ones ? I have also consulted-: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/manager.html But this too failed to give the location of non-persistent sessions. Anyone who does Tomcat development and meddles around with the source, there feedback will be highly appreciated. Regards Sreyan Chakravarty
