Javid Jamae commented on JBAS-3358:
-----------------------------------

This guy has a work around:

http://www.ethelred.org/articles/2006/10/18/persisting-http-sessions-over-restarts-on-jboss-4-0-4

He says:  "So my final workaround was to add a context.xml to each individual web app - it goes in the WEB-INF directory - to set the Manager pathname to one including that web app's name. I also used a relative path of ../../.. to make the session files be written outside of the working directories that would be deleted, but avoid using a non-portable path.

This seemed to do the trick. Phew! (As an aside, I haven't actually written a context.xml for each web app - they are dynamically created by our build script)."

> I tried enabling HTTP session persistence, but found out that the default directory that it writes to is the work directory. Working with JBoss support, I discovered that the work directory is deleted when the server shuts down.
> Either the work directory should not be deleted, or the default directory where the persistent HTTP sessions are serialized to a file should be changed to be in a directory other than work (since it is being deleted).
