Enabling IWSSessionManager

You may want to enable IWSSessionManager to change its default parameters. You can also enable IWSSessionManager for a particular context if the server is running in single-process mode. To do so, edit the sun-web.xml file for the web application as in the following example. Note that persistence-type must be set to s1ws60.

<sun-web-app>
   ...
   <session-config>
    <session-manager persistence-type=”s1ws60”>
     <manager-properties>
      <property name=”classname” value=”com.iplanet.server.http.
                                       session.IWSSessionManager”>
      // other manager-related properties
     </manager-properties>
    </session-manager> 
     ...
   </session-config>
   ...
</sun-web-app>

In the case of persistent sessions:

<sun-web-app>
   ...
   <session-config>
    <session-manager persistence-type=”s1ws60”>
     <manager-properties>
      <property name=”classname” value=”com.iplanet.server.http.
                                       session.IWSSessionManager”>
      // other manager-related properties
     </manager-properties>
     <store-properties>
       <property name=”classname” value=”com.iplanet.server.http.
                                               session.FileStore”>
       <property name=”directory” value=”<directory name to store the persistant sessions>”>
       // other store-related properties
     </store-properties>
    </session-manager> 
     ...
   </session-config>
   ...
</sun-web-app>
