My Context has no nested Manager element.
So, guessing I'm using by default the Standard Manager Implementation,
where does it store active sessions, if it does at all?
Olaf is right. StandardManager keeps active sessions in Memory. However,
when its _Persistence Across Restarts_ features comes into play
(https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-10.0-doc/config/manager.html#Persistence_Across_Restarts),
it persists active sessions to disk in order to preserve these across a
restart of either the context or the whole server.
Configuration option 'pathname' specifies, where on disk sessions are
persisted. StandardManager serializes all sessions into a single file
specified by 'pathname'. This defaulted to "SESSIONS.ser" and was a file
path relative to the context's TEMP directory. However, on 2020-02-18
that was changed to null, effectively disabling the Session Persistence
Feature by default due to possible performance issues with a large
number of sessions.
If you want it back, you could set 'pathname' to an absolute path of
your choice. However, on Ubuntu, Tomcat runs in a sandbox and by default
only has write access to a defined list of directories (see file
tomcat9.service) as well as to /tmp and /cache.
Option 'pathname' can also take a path relative to the context's work
directory, which is in /var/lib/tomcat9/work (a symlink to
/var/cache/tomcat9/). There, under Catalina/<hostname, typically
localhost> is a directory named after the context. That is the context's
working directory. This is where "SESSIONS.ser" used to be.
