Sessions counter on Web Application Manager

[Justin Madex <JM...@gw.com.au>]

Good Afternoon,

I recently took note of the "Session"s counter on the Tomcat Web 
Application Manager for one of the applications that i have deployed to 
the server and the fact that the counter never decreases until the session 
times out.

Despite the fact that my application calls Session.invalidate when the 
user logs out, the session counter never decreases.

Could anyone give me some information around this counter and why it 
doesnt decrease when you invalidate the session.

Thanks 

Kind Regards

If you consider what a session actually is, its a connection between a 
client and server, then you will understand that until that connection 
is actually broken and the server reclaims those resources there will 
still be a session/connection. Thus, session invalidate marks a session 
as expired and waits for the server to clean up, it does not destroy and 
remove the session.
