Tomcat API session management

An optional valve is provided to avoid API callers to take care of server session.

Warning: this applies only to versions 5.0 and 5.1

Webapp settings​

The changes to be done are :

  • Add the simplicite-valves.jar to <tomcat root>/lib folder
  • Add add the following valve declaration in META-INF/context.xml
<Valve className="com.simplicite.tomcat.valves.APISessionValve"/>

You can customize the default session timeout by adding timeout="<timeout in seconds, defaults to 60>" to the valve declaration.

You can enable the debug traces by adding a debug="<true|false, defaults to false>" to the valve declaration.
