Session Persistence

Tomcat has Session Persistence ENABLED per default.

This means that during shutdown, all sessions get serialized into the file

work/Catalina/localhost/_/SESSIONS.ser

and get restored into memory at startup.

If you run an application with thousands of sessions, shutdown and startup time can become quite long.

To disable session persistence, just uncomment this line in conf/context.xml:

<Manager pathname=""/>
