Is there a way to know how many HttpSession Objects in the container?

[Lipman Li]

the information will be useful, if you want to know how many users

actively

are using your system currently.

hi
by using the getCreationTime()
it return the time when session is created by using this u can track the number of user currently logging in

[Lipman Li]

we know that the HttpSession.getCreationTime() could give some hints, but how could you get the reference to this HttpSession Object in the first place?
I'm thinking that there must be something with container, which could give a collection of those session object. maybe it is container specific feature.

there was one method which could give you all active session but now it is deprecated.

[R K Singh]

I think you have to implement one of the listeners for session to keep active session count.

[Lipman Li]

probably I can do something withHttpSessionBindingListener to track the number of Active session

manually

. but I still strongly think that such information shall be provided by container.
