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

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3070?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12473650#action_12473650 ] 

Matthew Lieder commented on JBSEAM-3070:
----------------------------------------

I can confirm this is also happening in one of our production apps which has a file download servlet taking advantage of web:context-filter; we have sessions out there right now that were supposed to expire over 5 days ago. I'm going to give your workaround a try; if it solves that problem I'm going to be a very happy and grateful person :)

> 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.
