Tomcat sessions in profiler

2008-06-02 Thread dhay
We've had some performance issues with tomcat, and stuck it in JProfiler, and seen something strange. We load our portal page and then log out. After a while, new StandardSessions appear in the profiler! Does Tomcat use sessions for some internal stuff? Any other ideas? It's hard to tell
