Grr, seems my message got stuck somewhere so I'll resend it.

I couldn't find anything about how to add the PersistenManager in server.xml
or in the manuals, however, after backtracking the maillist I found a "patch"
by Kief that seems to have been forgotten, I'll cat it to the end of this mail.
Maybe it can find it's way into the server.xml after all.
Cheers, Bip

+ saveOnRestart: If true, all active sessions will be saved
+ to the Store when Catalina is shutdown, regardless of
+ other settings. All Sessions found in the Store will
+be
+ loaded on startup. Sessions past their expiration are
+ ignored in both cases.
+ maxActiveSessions: If 0 or greater, having too many active
+ sessions will result in some being swapped out.
+minIdleSwap
+ limits this. -1 means unlimited sessions are allowed.
+ 0 means sessions will almost always be swapped out
+after
+ use - this will be noticeably slow for your users.
+ minIdleSwap: Sessions must be idle for at least this long
+ (in seconds) before they will be swapped out due to
+ maxActiveSessions. This avoids thrashing when the site
+is
+ highly active. -1 or 0 means there is no minimum -
+sessions
+ can be swapped out at any time.
+ maxIdleSwap: Sessions will be swapped out if idle for this
+ long (in seconds). If minIdleSwap is higher, then it
+will
+ override this. This isn't exact: it is checked
+periodically.
+ -1 means sessions won't be swapped out for this reason,
+ although they may be swapped out for maxActiveSessions.
+ If set to >= 0, guarantees that all sessions found in
+the
+ Store will be loaded on startup.
+ maxIdleBackup: Sessions will be backed up (saved to the Store,
+ but left in active memory) if idle for this long (in
+seconds),
+ and all sessions found in the Store will be loaded on
+startup.
+ If set to -1 sessions will not be backed up, 0 means
+they
+ should be backed up shortly after being used.
+
+ To clear sessions from the Store, set maxActiveSessions,
+maxIdleSwap,
+ and minIdleBackup all to -1, saveOnRestart to false, then
+restart
+ Catalina.
