<h3>Standard SessionIdGenerator Implementation</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The standard implementation of <strong>SessionIdGenerator</strong> is
|
||
|
|
<strong>org.apache.catalina.util.StandardSessionIdGenerator</strong>.
|
||
|
|
It supports the following attributes:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<table class="defaultTable"><tr><th style="width: 15%;">
|
||
|
|
Attribute
|
||
|

</th><th style="width: 85%;">
|
||
|
|
Description
|
||
|
|
</th></tr><tr><td><code class="attributeName">jvmRoute</code></td><td>
|
||
|
|
<p>A routing identifier for this Tomcat instance. It will be added
|
||
|
|
to the end of the session id separated by a ".".</p>
|
||
|
|
</td></tr><tr><td><code class="attributeName">sessionIdLength</code></td><td>
|
||
|
|
<p>The length of session ids created by this SessionIdGenerator.
|
||
|
|
More precisely the session id length is twice the value of
|
||
|
|
<code>sessionIdLength</code> plus the length of the trailing
|
||
|
|
<code>jvmRoute</code> if given. The factor 2 is because
|
||
|
|
the session id is constructed using <code>sessionIdLength</code>
|
||
|
|
random bytes, each byte being encoded in two hex characters
|
||
|
|
in the actual id. The default value is 16.</p>
