Hi, I finally found out what the problem was. There is nothing stored in the session (I tried the SessionListener from tomcat 5.5.25 in my tomcat version, it worked - I saw contextInitialized entries in the standard context log) but I never saw any sessioncreated - nor destroyed - event. By checking the source code I saw that the session (or cache) is represented as a LinkedHashMap with an overriden removeEldestEntry method that returns true to remove eldest entry when the size > 1000. The problem was in the client app where some type of request would generate a new random session id at each request. So after sending 1000+ of this type of request, the cache had lost any other info on previous active sessions. I did not know that one of the request would generate a new id each time...
Thanks for your help, now at least I am a bit less newbie with tomcat ;) Caldarale, Charles R wrote: > >> From: Alex79 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Subject: RE: Problem with session >> >> You mentionned a session listener, can you point me out to a >> tutorial on how to do it? > > See section 10 of the Servlet spec. > >> Are there any generic session listener that I could use out >> of the box? > > There's one in the 5.5.25 distribution: > > webapps/servlets-examples/WEB-INF/classes/listeners/SessionListener.java > (I don't have 5.0 around anymore, but I would expect it to be in there > as well.) > > Look in: > webapps/servlets-examples/WEB-INF/web.xml > to see how to configure it. > > - Chuck > > > THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY > MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
