session questions

Hi All
1) is it possible to retrieve an expired session. If yes then how
2) How to get the total count of active sessions.

1. The servlet engine unbinds all attached data as it is invalidating (expiring) a session so it would not do you any good to have one.
2. In Tomcat the management application will list the number of active sessions - or you could use one of the listeners.
