Agreed.

I'm trying to understand this better... when calling application().createContextForRequest(request)... Simon was getting a new session?

We aren't calling this method, so I'm trying to understand other ways such sessions could get created. Any other ideas?

Is there another technique, possibly from the Application layer to monitor and manage/terminate/destroy these types of sessions automatically?

Not that I can think of. I'd vote for not creating them in the first place.

Blimey, this has taken me weeks to figure out...

We've been plagued with zombie sessions for weeks on a couple of production apps. One, for example, is used by a team of 5 people who sign on in the morning and out in the evening, by which time the app is busy running 300+ sessions!

Anyway, after much digging I finally nailed it down to a component that was being used to render email. We use the following method to instantiate a component and then call generateResponse().contentString() to get it's html content:

        public static WOComponent instantiatePage(String pageName) {
                // Create a context from a fake request
WORequest request = new WORequest("GET", "", "HTTP/1.1", null, null, null); WOContext context = WOApplication.application().createContextForRequest(request); return WOApplication.application().pageWithName(pageName, context);
        }

The problem was that one of the components used as an email touched the session. I believe because we are using a fake context this results in a new session being created. I'm not sure why those extra sessions don't just expire like normal ones ? But anyway, problem solved. I can sleep again.

They weren't created normally in the RR loop so sleep never got called on them. Like a watched pot never boiling, awake sessions never terminate. :-P
