Please respond to Subject
"Tomcat Users Re: How do you access all sessions
List" from a servlet in tomcat 6.0?

OK, for some reason I've been obsessing about this for a whole day now.
If you hold an external reference to a Session then according to my
tests the session will still time out as expected but the external
reference will be non null. At the very least this means that you may
end up with a large number of useless references taking up space in
memory. Of course you can always remove an invalid or timed out
reference in the sessionDestroyed method of your listener.
There are a whole bunch of other issues surrounding this but I'm sure
you've sussed them out for yourself already.
Anyway, I'll shut up now.
