That is correct. By default, the sessions are stored in SESSIONS.ser files in subdirectories of the work directory. > Session persistence seems to be enabled by default, which is odd.

The proper way to disable session persistence is to set the pathname attribute of <Manager> to an empty string. You can disable persistence globally by changing it in conf/context.xml, unless overridden by individual app's <Context> settings. See the description of pathname at: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/manager.html - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
