maxSessions

1000

The maximum number of sessions maintained by the session manager at any given time. The session manager refuses to create any more new sessions if there are already maxSessions number of sessions present at that time.

timeOut

1800

The amount of time in seconds after a session is accessed by the client before the session manager destroys it. Those sessions that haven’t been accessed for at least timeOut seconds are destroyed by the reaper method.

If session-timeout is specified in web.xml, it overrides this timeOut parameter value.

reapInterval

600

The amount of time in seconds that the SessionReaper thread sleeps before calling the reaper method again.

maxLocks

10

The number of cross-process locks to use for synchronizing access to individual sessions across processes. The default value is used if the value 0 is specified. This parameter is ignored in single-process mode.

session-data-store

The name of the class that determines the means of session persistence. The classes supplied with Sun Java System Web Server are: 

• com.iplanet.server.http.session.JdbcStore

• com.iplanet.server.http.session.FileStore

  If you do not specify the session-data-store parameter, sessions are not persistent in single-process mode, and FileStore is the default in multi-process mode.

  The JdbcStore and FileStore classes are subclasses of the session-data-store class. You can create your own class that implements session persistence by extending SessionDataStore.

session-failover-enabled

Specifies whether sessions are reloaded from the persistent store for every request, and always forced to true in multi-process mode.

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore or FileStore class.

session-data-dir

(this should all be on one line) 

server_root/server_id/SessionData/virtual_server_id/web_app_URI

The directory in which session data for all servers and web applications is kept. 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the FileStore class.

provider

The JDBC driver (the default is sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver). For more information about the JDBC API, see the following web site:

http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/index.jsp

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

url

jdbc:odbc:LocalServer

Specifies the data source. 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

table

sessions

Name of the SQL table that store sessions. 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

username

none 

The login user name for the database. 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

password

none 

The login password for the database. 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

reaperActive

true

Tells the session manager whether to run session reaper to remove expired sessions from the database when true, which is the default value. It is recommended that only one server in the cluster be running the reaper.

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

accessTimeColumn

AccessTime

The name of the column that holds the last access time in minutes. The SQL type is NUMERIC(9). 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

timeOutColumn

TimeOut

The name of the column that holds the session timeout in minutes. The SQL type is NUMERIC(9). 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

sessionIdColumn

SessionID

The name of the column that holds the session ID. The SQL type is VARCHAR(100). 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

valueColumn

Value

The name of the column that holds the session object. The SQL type is VARBINARY(4096). This column must be large enough to accommodate all of your session data. 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

lookupPool

4

The number of dedicated connections that perform search operations on the database. Each of these connections would have a precompiled SQL statement for higher performance. 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

insertPool

4

The number of dedicated connections that perform insert operations on the database. Each of these connections would have a precompiled SQL statement for higher performance. 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

updatePool

4

The number of dedicated connections that perform update operations on the database. Each of these connections would have a precompiled SQL statement for higher performance. 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.

deletePool

2

The number of dedicated connections that perform delete operations on the database. Each of these connections would have a precompiled SQL statement for higher performance. 

Applicable only if the session-data-store parameter is set to the JdbcStore class.
