Rather than using Tomcat's own HttpSession, I may be implementing HttpSession to write to shared storage or to the client. (Or if for no other reason, then to learn something.)
Do you know of any HttpSession implementations that are publicly available, as the task of storing session state in places other than web server memory is common enough that I'd hope others have already done so? A quick web search didn't reveal anything too exciting. There are a couple of methods I'm having trouble understanding how to implement. The first is isNew(). Looking through the StandardSession code, I can't tell exactly when to set this to true and false - all I know is that initially upon session creation on the server (e.g. in ManagerBase.createSession()), the "new" property is set to true. In what cases is it set to false, and how would a web application developer use this method? How can you tell Tomcat to use your implementation of HttpSession, so that when you call request.getSession(), it returns that object? In the above case, would Tomcat take care of calling setMaxInactiveInterval and providing a value for getServletContext()?
