Strange Error messgae in tomcat server

while i was running a webapplication in tomcat server from 7 hrs with out restarting the server.it had given me an error msg saying that maximum number of sessions exceeded

what might be the problem

and moreover the tomcat was running in other system not in my system. and in the server system no other applications were running at that time

thanx in advance

There's a maximum number of sessions, and the session timeout is set incorrectly (so that sessions take too long to timeout or even never timeout), or there are too many users (more than the max. allowed number of sessions) trying to use the system at the same time.

hi jesper de jong , you r right can increase the sessions in server
should i need to change the values in tomcat admin for increasing the sessions
or can i timeout the the session in very less time

please tell me the solution
coz here i am the only one user but accessing the web application many times from morning to evening with out stopping the tomcat server.

thanx

Could you please paste the stack trace in order to confirm that its talking about tomcat sessions not the DB sessions.

Because its very unlikely to have no of tomcat sessions exceeded while you are the only one using the app.

How did you know, it is because sessions exceeded?

If tomcat console then you can copy the stack from the console or a log file provided under TOMCAT_HOME/logs.

Thanks.

You can get the Log file from <Tomcat folder>\logs\catalina<File name with date>
This is the above path where you can get the information.
