Allow an empty value of a pathname in the StandardManager to disable the restart persistent sessions

           Summary: Allow an empty value of a pathname in the
                    StandardManager to disable the restart persistent
                    sessions
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.3 Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina:Modules
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bolandb@attbi.com


Allow pathname="" to disable persistence in the StandardManager as in this 
example:

   <Manager className="org.apache.catalina.session.StandardManager" 
pathname="" />

The source code for the StandardManager states that if the pathname is null, it 
will not use persistence. Not knowing how to set it to null from server.xml, I 
tried setting the pathname to an empty value (vs. the default SESSIONS.ser) and 
that seems to have disabled it. It didn't really disable it, but it couldn't 
create the relative file in the web application's work directory since it 
existed as the directory itself. I see exceptions in my log file...but at least 
my sessions are no longer persistent for this one application. You could 
probably put a bad file name with characters that are invalid for files of your 
O/S and get the same results.
