Hi!

We're having a problem with "zombie" sessions. One of our direct actions has some trickery to always create a new session, even if the wosid cookie has a valid session ID, and I believe something is acting up there, but I can't figure out why (yes, this looks strange, but we actually know what we are doing, or at least we like to believe so).

The problem is this: everytime I access that DA, JavaMonitor shows 2 more sessions on that instance. After the typical 60 minutes, one of the sessions dies, but the other remains forever. This has obvious serious consequences, as Refuse New Sessions will wait for every session to die, and those zombie sessions simply won't go away.

I have seen this happen when sleep() or terminate() throws an exception.


As I needed a more sophisticated way to track sessions (I need to know the user login, etc) I built my own session tracker, that hooks into session's sleep and termination methods to keep track of what's going on. Looking at the table generated by that tracker, everything is fine: no zombie sessions appear, and all the sessions die after 60 minutes.

So, to dig this further, what I want to know is where does that active session counter on JavaMonitor comes from. How's that count being made? Is it done on the app or on wotaskd?

See activeSessionsCount() in the WOApplication API.
