What are the units for the session ID length

Hi,

The tomcat session manager documentation claims that for the standard
manager the default sessionIdLength attribute has a value of 16, the
question is 16 what, characters, bytes? When I look at the jessionId
in the URL  such as ( FDD699674D95E77EC9B03232DC761DC3) it has 32
characters, does anyone know for sure what the units are?

Thanks
Adib

Those are bytes.
