Introduction

The Enhydra Session Viewer is a small Enhydra application that allows you to supervise sessions of your applications.

  • Session Viewer for Enhydra-Tomcat Servlet Container interacts directly with MBeanServer to collect necessary data.

  • Session Viewer for Enhydra-Jetty Servlet Container interacts with Enhydra-Jetty Servlet Container directly.

The Session Viewer also has the capability to supervise sessions of non-Enhydra servlets.

Using the Session Viewer

When started, Session Viewer shows the number of sessions for each available applications. You can chose to examine all sessions for each application, or to examine single session.

Examine the Session

When you chose to examine single session, you will get information about Session ID, Enhydra User ( only for Enhydra application ) if there is user, Session Data ( only for Enhydra application ) if there is any, Attribute Names and values, session creation time and last accessed time.
