How to get Session count from container

Hi,
I am doing some admin part of my web application.
So I want to get no of sessions, execution time etc for all sessions in a tomcat container.
"org.apache.catalina.session.ManagerBase" - This tomcat API gives methods to get information.
But I don't know how to associate this manager with the tomcat i am using.
please If any of you know about this please tell me.

Since this thread is specific to Tomcat...
Moving to the Apache/Tomcat forum.

But I don't know how to associate this manager with the tomcat i am using.

Which version of Tomcat are you using?
In my copy of Tomcat5.5.9 the directory
CATALINA_HOME\server\webapps
contains admin, host-manager and manager applications which I can access online because I defined a user with the admin and manager roles.

I am using Tomcat 5.5.
Even I have manager and host manager application that I can access.

My requirement is : My application is running remotely. so I want to test how many sessions are creating and their execution time.
So I want to develop one Jsp page which gives me this info. Then this page i will deploy in a server where my application is running. Then I want use some tools like Wget which retrives that page thru HTTP.

Like this I can get session related information....

I am trying to use apache tomcat API..

but i am not getting how to use it..
I hope u can understand..

Thanks,

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

If the management interface works you should be able to get the results of any manager command as a text stream with a simple URL. See this documentation.
Seems to me that parsing this text stream will be simpler than your proposed route through JSP.
