The Simple Session Manager and JDBC Session Manager that were deprecated in the version 6.0 release of Sun Java System Web Server are not supported in the 6.1 release.
Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 provides the following session management options:
PersistentManager, a provided session manager that uses a persistent data store
IWSSessionManager, a provided session manager that allows backward compatibility with any custom session managers you may have created using Sun Java System Web Server 6.0.
MMapSessionManager (UNIX Only), a provided persistent memory map (mmap) file based session manager that works in both single process and multi-process mode
The following API functions of the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 session manager API are not implemented in Sun Java System Web Server 6.1:
SimpleSessionManager and JdbcSessionManager. Web Server 6.0 provided deprecated support to the SimpleSessionManager and JdbcSessionManager options, and implemented the same functionality through iWSSessionManager and JdbcStore, respectively. The SimpleSessionManager and JdbcSessionManager options are not supported in Sun Java System Web Server 6.1.
