4.4.1: Tracking sessions

IBM WebSphere Application Server provides a service for tracking user sessions -- the Session Manager. The service is provided in the form of IBM classes and packages.

The key activities for session tracking are summarized.

  1. Become familiar with the programming model for accessing session support from servlets. See article 4.4.1.1 for an overview with links to details about security, clustering, limitations, and other topics.
  2. Create or modify your own servlets to use session support to maintain sessions on behalf of Web applications.

    Follow the model outlined in the previous step.

  3. Ensure the administrator appropriately configures Session Managers in the administrative domain. See article 6.6.11.
  4. Adjust configuration settings and perform other tuning activities for optimal use of sessions in your environment. See article 4.4.1.1.7.
