<p>Tomcat provides two standard implementations of <strong>Manager</strong>
for use — the default one stores active sessions, while the optional one
stores active sessions that have been swapped out (in addition to saving
sessions across a restart of Tomcat) in a storage location that is selected
via the use of an appropriate <strong>Store</strong> nested element.</p>
<h3>Standard Manager Implementation</h3>
<p>The standard implementation of <strong>Manager</strong> is
<strong>org.apache.catalina.session.StandardManager</strong>.

<h3>Persistent Manager Implementation</h3>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> You must set either the
<code>org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.ACTIVITY_CHECK</code> or
<code>org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE</code>
<a href="systemprops.html">system properties</a> to <code>true</code> for
the persistent manager to work correctly.</p>
<p>The persistent implementation of <strong>Manager</strong> is
<strong>org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManager</strong>. In
addition to the usual operations of creating and deleting sessions, a
<code>PersistentManager</code> has the capability to swap active (but
idle) sessions out to a persistent storage mechanism, as well as to save
all sessions across a normal restart of Tomcat. The actual persistent
storage mechanism used is selected by your choice of a
<strong>Store</strong> element nested inside the <strong>Manager</strong>
element - this is required for use of <code>PersistentManager</code>.</p>
<p>This implementation of Manager supports the following attributes in
addition to the <a href="#Common Attributes">Common Attributes</a>
described earlier.</p>

<h3>Standard Manager Implementation</h3>
<p>If you are using the <em>Standard Manager Implementation</em>
as described above, no elements may be nested inside your

<h3>Persistent Manager Implementation</h3>
<p>If you are using the <em>Persistent Manager Implementation</em>
as described above, you <strong>MUST</strong> nest a
<strong><Store></strong> element inside, which defines the
characteristics of the persistent data storage. Two implementations
of the <code><Store></code> element are currently available,
with different characteristics, as described below.</p>
<h5>File Based Store</h5>
<p>The <em>File Based Store</em> implementation saves swapped out
sessions in individual files (named based on the session identifier)
in a configurable directory. Therefore, you are likely to encounter
scalability problems as the number of active sessions increases, and
this should primarily be considered a means to easily experiment.</p>
<p>To configure this, add a <code><Store></code> nested inside
your <code><Manager></code> element with the following attributes:
</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="5"><tr><th width="15%" bgcolor="#023264"><font color="#ffffff">Attribute</font></th><th width="85%" bgcolor="#023264"><font color="#ffffff">Description</font></th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">checkInterval</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">

<h5>JDBC Based Store</h5>
<p>The <em>JDBC Based Store</em> implementation saves swapped out
sessions in individual rows of a preconfigured table in a database
that is accessed via a JDBC driver. With large numbers of swapped out
sessions, this implementation will exhibit improved performance over
the File Based Store described above.</p>

<p>Before attempting to use the JDBC Based Store for the first time,
you must create the table that will be used to store swapped out sessions.

a script like this will generally be required:</p>

<p>In order for the JDBC Based Store to successfully connect to your
database, the JDBC driver you configure must be visible to Tomcat's
internal class loader. Generally, that means you must place the JAR
file containing this driver into the <code>$CATALINA_HOME/lib</code>
directory.</p>

<p>Whenever Apache Tomcat is shut down normally and restarted, or when an
application reload is triggered, the standard Manager implementation
will attempt to serialize all currently active sessions to a disk
file located via the <code>pathname</code> attribute. All such saved
sessions will then be deserialized and activated (assuming they have
not expired in the mean time) when the application reload is completed.</p>
<p>In order to successfully restore the state of session attributes,
all such attributes MUST implement the <code>java.io.Serializable</code>
interface. You MAY cause the Manager to enforce this restriction by
including the <code><distributable></code> element in your web
application deployment descriptor (<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>).</p>
