session + cookie

[Connie Chan <cc...@drfirst.com>]

Hi,

My application handles session via cookies.  I notice that Tomcat, by
default, sets the cookie name to JSESSIONID.  Is there any ways I can
rename the cookie name?


Thanks,
Connie

I don't believe so -- the session id cookie name is mandated by the spec.

Why do you want to, i.e. what are you trying to do?

servlets, sessions, and memory ..

[Danny Angus <da...@thought.co.uk>]

I see from the archive that the memory "leak" effect is caused by session
handlers creating a session for each.. well.. session.

My question is how can I take charge of this, i cant seem to turn off
session tracking for servlets. Simply removing the interceptors from
server.xml doesn't help.

I find that after about 820,000 hits in six hours, :-), I get an out of
memeory exception, I could avoind this if I knew how to destroy sessions, or
not create them at all, or even just fine tune their time-to-live.

I haven't found my way round this bit of the source yet, so *any* tips will
be greatfully recieved, however obvious they may be to others...
