tomcat-replication session count question

[Dennis Muhlestein <de...@zserve.com>]

We'd like to display for our users how many other users are using our 
site at any particular time.  An approximation obtained by the number of 
sessions with a particular attribute is close enough.  We are using the 
tomcat-replication provided by Filip (Thanks Filip).

After examining the manager application, we see that we could call from 
the Manager Interface the getSessions() and then call .length but you 
have to have the web context operating with priveleged = true and 
implement the ContainerServlet.

We're wondering, is there any easy way to make a function call and get 
the number of sessions.

We've tried an HttpSession[Attribute]Listener but that solution has 
problems in the clustered environment because each server does not pick 
up any other server's events.


Any Suggestions?

TIA
-Dennis

you used to be able to do that from the servlet spec, but it was taken out
bc of security issues that could cause.
now you would have to hack the source code of tomcat.
