Manager

public interface Manager
A Manager manages the pool of Sessions that are associated with a particular Container. Different Manager implementations may support value-added features such as the persistent storage of session data, as well as migrating sessions for distributable web applications.

In order for a Manager implementation to successfully operate with a Context implementation that implements reloading, it must obey the following constraints:

  • Must implement Lifecycle so that the Context can indicate that a restart is required.
  • Must allow a call to stop() to be followed by a call to start() on the same Manager instance.

Fields Summary
Constructors Summary
Methods Summary
public voidadd(Session session)
Add this Session to the set of active Sessions for this Manager.

param
session Session to be added

public voidaddPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)
Add a property change listener to this component.

param
listener The listener to add

public voidbackgroundProcess()
This method will be invoked by the context/container on a periodic basis and allows the manager to implement a method that executes periodic tasks, such as expiring sessions etc.

public SessioncreateEmptySession()
Get a session from the recycled ones or create a new empty one. The PersistentManager manager does not need to create session data because it reads it from the Store.

public SessioncreateSession()
Construct and return a new session object, based on the default settings specified by this Manager's properties. The session id will be assigned by this method, and available via the getId() method of the returned session. If a new session cannot be created for any reason, return null.

exception
IllegalStateException if a new session cannot be instantiated for any reason
deprecated

public SessioncreateSession(java.lang.String sessionId)
Construct and return a new session object, based on the default settings specified by this Manager's properties. The session id specified will be used as the session id. If a new session cannot be created for any reason, return null.

param
sessionId The session id which should be used to create the new session; if null, the session id will be assigned by this method, and available via the getId() method of the returned session.
exception
IllegalStateException if a new session cannot be instantiated for any reason

public SessionfindSession(java.lang.String id)
Return the active Session, associated with this Manager, with the specified session id (if any); otherwise return null.

param
id The session id for the session to be returned
exception
IllegalStateException if a new session cannot be instantiated for any reason
exception
IOException if an input/output error occurs while processing this request

public Session[]findSessions()
Return the set of active Sessions associated with this Manager. If this Manager has no active Sessions, a zero-length array is returned.

public intgetActiveSessions()
Gets the number of currently active sessions.

return
Number of currently active sessions

public ContainergetContainer()
Return the Container with which this Manager is associated.

public booleangetDistributable()
Return the distributable flag for the sessions supported by this Manager.

public intgetExpiredSessions()
Gets the number of sessions that have expired.

return
Number of sessions that have expired

public java.lang.StringgetInfo()
Return descriptive information about this Manager implementation and the corresponding version number, in the format <description>/<version>.

public intgetMaxActive()
Gets the maximum number of sessions that have been active at the same time.

return
Maximum number of sessions that have been active at the same time

public intgetMaxInactiveInterval()
Return the default maximum inactive interval (in seconds) for Sessions created by this Manager.

public intgetRejectedSessions()
Gets the number of sessions that were not created because the maximum number of active sessions was reached.

return
Number of rejected sessions

public intgetSessionAverageAliveTime()
Gets the average time (in seconds) that expired sessions had been alive.

return
Average time (in seconds) that expired sessions had been alive.

public intgetSessionCounter()
Returns the total number of sessions created by this manager.

return
Total number of sessions created by this manager.

public intgetSessionIdLength()
Gets the session id length (in bytes) of Sessions created by this Manager.

return
The session id length

public intgetSessionMaxAliveTime()
Gets the longest time (in seconds) that an expired session had been alive.

return
Longest time (in seconds) that an expired session had been alive.

public voidload()
Load any currently active sessions that were previously unloaded to the appropriate persistence mechanism, if any. If persistence is not supported, this method returns without doing anything.

exception
ClassNotFoundException if a serialized class cannot be found during the reload
exception
IOException if an input/output error occurs

public voidremove(Session session)
Remove this Session from the active Sessions for this Manager.

param
session Session to be removed

public voidremovePropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)
Remove a property change listener from this component.

param
listener The listener to remove

public voidsetContainer(Container container)
Set the Container with which this Manager is associated.

param
container The newly associated Container

public voidsetDistributable(boolean distributable)
Set the distributable flag for the sessions supported by this Manager. If this flag is set, all user data objects added to sessions associated with this manager must implement Serializable.

param
distributable The new distributable flag

public voidsetExpiredSessions(int expiredSessions)
Sets the number of sessions that have expired.

param
expiredSessions Number of sessions that have expired

public voidsetMaxActive(int maxActive)
(Re)sets the maximum number of sessions that have been active at the same time.

param
maxActive Maximum number of sessions that have been active at the same time.

public voidsetMaxInactiveInterval(int interval)
Set the default maximum inactive interval (in seconds) for Sessions created by this Manager.

param
interval The new default value

public voidsetRejectedSessions(int rejectedSessions)
Sets the number of sessions that were not created because the maximum number of active sessions was reached.

param
rejectedSessions Number of rejected sessions

public voidsetSessionAverageAliveTime(int sessionAverageAliveTime)
Sets the average time (in seconds) that expired sessions had been alive.

param
sessionAverageAliveTime Average time (in seconds) that expired sessions had been alive.

public voidsetSessionCounter(int sessionCounter)
Sets the total number of sessions created by this manager.

param
sessionCounter Total number of sessions created by this manager.

public voidsetSessionIdLength(int idLength)
Sets the session id length (in bytes) for Sessions created by this Manager.

param
idLength The session id length

public voidsetSessionMaxAliveTime(int sessionMaxAliveTime)
Sets the longest time (in seconds) that an expired session had been alive.

param
sessionMaxAliveTime Longest time (in seconds) that an expired session had been alive.

public voidunload()
Save any currently active sessions in the appropriate persistence mechanism, if any. If persistence is not supported, this method returns without doing anything.

exception
IOException if an input/output error occurs
