How can I change Session Persistence in Tomcat 7.X?

I am using Tomcat 7.0 and I found a reference of how to change session savings into the database. But I don't get how to change org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.ACTIVITY_CHECK to true

The link that I am referencing is http://www.intelligrape.com/blog/2010/07/21/tomcat-6-session-persistence-through-jdbcstore/

I am using localhost Tomcat 7.X downloaded as zip, MySQL 5.5, STS 3.1(Incuding Eclipse)

Any figuring out?

add below line in catalina.bat just after where you found other JAVA OPTS already being set. set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dorg.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.ACTIVITY_CHECK=true"

e.g.

rem Register custom URL handlers

rem Do this here so custom URL handles (specifically 'war:...') can be used in the security policy

set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=org.apache.catalina.webresources"

set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dorg.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.ACTIVITY_CHECK=true"

This is a system property ( http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/systemprops.html ) so to set these you have to specify the -D option. In your case "-Dorg.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.ACTIVITY_CHECK=true".

But where? Well, System Properties are given to the Java process when it starts. In case of Tomcat you can use a environment variable called $JAVA_OPTS which is given to the Java process on startup. So

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dorg.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.ACTIVITY_CHECK=true"

and then run Tomcat. For this to persist make sure that the user running catalina.sh has this environment variable always set.
