How to retrieve persisted session
Hi
I have configured my tomcat to save session in database as per
documentation, and it works as expected i can see the session is saved in
database,
Now if the user closes the browser, and then reopens i dont want to show the
login screen but get the session from database and go to the last visited
page,
how can i retrieve this session from database,
Normally our application checks for session, and a flag in session, if the
flag is on then user id logged in, but in my current application if i open
new browser window, it creates a new session,
any ideas

only 1 place that is in web.xml
<session-config>
<session-timeout>-1</session-timeout>
</session-config>

Have you manually set the session expiry time or are you using the default?

You will have to write code to do this yourself: Tomcat won't do it for you.
Pid's question about setting the max inactive interval isn't germane,
because you want the JSESSIONID cookie to remain active across a browser
restart, rather than having the server hold on to the session longer
than it is. Setting <session-timeout> in web.xml (which is the same as
setting maxInactiveInterval on the <Manager>, though it's more standard)
will not affect the cookie lifetime on the client.

Set the maxAge of the session to something other than -1 (the default,
which means "this cookie will die when the browser shuts down").

You can't. Once the browser is closed, the session cookie is removed
from the browser.
