[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3070) Tomcat not cleaning up HttpSessions after a single FeedServlet request

Tomcat not cleaning up HttpSessions after a single FeedServlet request ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3070 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3070 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Wiki Reporter: Christian Bauer Assigned To: Christian Bauer Priority: Critical Only reproducible in production: The number of HttpSessions is growing over several days. I wrote a listener and it shows the following pattern: <User> <Action> <Creation timestamp> <Last access timestamp> <Idle> <Expired since> Guest Feed: 1 04. Jun 2008, 16:01:46 04. Jun 2008, 16:01:46 00:13:49 00:03:49 (EXPIRED!) 5 KiB Guest Feed: 1 04. Jun 2008, 15:59:56 04. Jun 2008, 15:59:56 00:15:39 00:05:39 (EXPIRED!) 5 KiB Guest Feed: 1450 04. Jun 2008, 16:03:31 04. Jun 2008, 16:03:31 00:12:04 00:02:04 (EXPIRED!) 5 KiB The EXPIRED! sessions are alive past their maxInactiveInterval (see the time next to it). Tomcat does not clean them up and I don't know why. The only recognizable pattern is that they are all from the FeedServlet, and a single request to that servlet. At this point I suspect that something in Seams ContextualRequest filter is wrong and influencing Tomcat negatively. Will keep this assigned to the wiki until the cause is clearer.
