How to save sessions when reloading web app?

[johnnewman]

Hi,

I know this worked when we were just using regular tomcat, but not so far with jboss 4.2.2 GA. If an app is running and has active sessions, when I reload it, tomcat saves them somehow. With jboss, every time I reload, all the sessions are expired.

My concern about this is not for apps in production, but development and testing certain logic is taking longer because I have to build up the session I had before.

I've seen this http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/en/HttpSessionPassivationDesign?action=e&windowstate=normal&mode=view

but the suggested changes to jboss-web.xml have not made any difference. Any ideas about how to get sessions to be saved when reloading?

I have found a solution

you have to edit this file:


.....deploy/jboss-web.deployer/contex.xml

to enable




or

To enable session persistence for a single web app, add a

WEB-INF/context.xml
