RE: Tracking active sessions over a restart?

[Scott Ganyo]

I'm using Tomcat 4.1.9 and no, I'm not seeing at all what I expect.  I have
a class that implements HttpSessionListener, HttpSessionAttributeListener,
and HttpSessionActivationListener and logs these events.  But I'm not
receiving the sessionDidActivate() event just mentioned.  I can stop and
restart Tomcat--with my session intact, but I don't receive any event
telling me that there was a session activated.

Scott

P.S. Here's another weird thing: A new session is spontaneously created once
per minute (in response to no stimulus on my part) while Tomcat is sitting
"idle":

2002-08-13 14:48:17,373 DEBUG [Thread-4 ] Request -

etc., etc...

Tracking active sessions over a restart?

[Scott Ganyo]

I'm confused over the appropriate way to track user sessions across restarts
of the servlet engine.  I've been using SessionListeners and
AttributeListeners to track the status of user sessions in my application,
but I've found them to be unreliable when I restart Tomcat and persistent
sessions are enabled.  Is there a way to ensure that I can track the correct
list of active sessions regardless of restarts, etc?

Thanks,
Scott

Custom Realm & ClassLoader issues?

[Scott Ganyo]

Hi all,

I've written a custom Realm that I'm attempting to use for
authentication under Tomcat 4.0.  Within that class I'm using JavaSpaces
to do the messaging to the authentication service that I wrote.  Each
piece works independantly, but together they are failing.  What happens
is this:

1. Realm: Posts authentication Message to Space.
2. Auth Service: Retrieves Message, performs authentication
3. Auth Service: Posts auth response Message to Space
4. Realm: Retrieves Message

The trouble is that at the point when the Realm retrieves the Entry from
the Space (4), I get a ClassCastException when I attempt to cast it to a
Message.  I know it is a Message, though, as I can print it out and
verify it.  Thus, it seems like it is a ClassLoader issue...?

BTW: I put all Jini jars in the server/lib and my classes in the
server/classes directory so that my Realm has access to the appropriate
classes.  Would this be related?  Is there a better way?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Scott
