Session Management

[Ntobeko Wakaba]

I am trying to write a class that manages user sessions in an application server (Oracle 9iAS). In the Servlet 2.1 API, you could use something like
obj.getIds() or obj.getSession("??? session id ???")
Unfortunately this API is depricated. Is it possible to do something similar in Servlet 2.3? How can one generally manage user sessions at an application scope level taking into consideration that some app server implementations maintain separate state (at application scope level) on the different machines in a cluster.

i dont know why you wanted to do this, but you could use a sessionlistener. Add the sessionid to a hashmap (whatever collection) and add the hashmap to the context.
i am not sure this answers your question though.

Let's move this to the Oracle OAS forum and see if they know if the product offers session management functionality.

Yes 9ias handles User sessions, so you wouldn't want to go through all that trouble of reinventing the wheel would you?
