public abstract class PersistentManagerBase
extends ManagerBase
implements Lifecycle, java.beans.PropertyChangeListener, java.lang.Runnable

Extends the ManagerBase class to implement most of the functionality required by a Manager which supports any kind of persistence, even if onlyfor restarts.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: Correct behavior of session storing and reloading depends upon external calls to the `start()` and `stop()` methods of this class at the correct times.

Field Detail

### lifecycle

    protected LifecycleSupport lifecycle

  The lifecycle event support for this component.

### name

    protected static java.lang.String name

  The descriptive name of this Manager implementation (for logging).

### threadDone

    protected boolean threadDone

  The background thread completion semaphore.

Constructor Detail

### PersistentManagerBase

    public PersistentManagerBase()

Method Detail

### getCheckInterval

    public int getCheckInterval()

  Return the check interval (in seconds) for this Manager.

### setCheckInterval

    public void setCheckInterval(int checkInterval)

  Set the check interval (in seconds) for this Manager.

  Parameters:
    `checkInterval` - The new check interval

### getMaxIdleBackup

    public int getMaxIdleBackup()

  Indicates how many seconds old a session can get, after its last use in a request, before it should be backed up to the store. -1 means sessions are not backed up.

### setMaxIdleBackup

    public void setMaxIdleBackup(int backup)

  Sets the option to back sessions up to the Store after they are used in a request. Sessions remain available in memory after being backed up, so they are not passivated as they are when swapped out. The value set indicates how old a session may get (since its last use) before it must be backed up: -1 means sessions are not backed up.

  Note that this is not a hard limit: sessions are checked against this age limit periodically according to checkInterval. This value should be considered to indicate when a session is ripe for backing up.

  So it is possible that a session may be idle for maxIdleBackup + checkInterval seconds, plus the time it takes to handle other session expiration, swapping, etc. tasks.

  Parameters:
    `backup` - The number of seconds after their last accessed time when they should be written to the Store.

### getMaxIdleSwap

    public int getMaxIdleSwap()

  The time in seconds after which a session should be swapped out of memory to disk.

### setMaxIdleSwap

    public void setMaxIdleSwap(int max)

  Sets the time in seconds after which a session should be swapped out of memory to disk.

### getMinIdleSwap

    public int getMinIdleSwap()

  The minimum time in seconds that a session must be idle before it can be swapped out of memory, or -1 if it can be swapped out at any time.

### setMinIdleSwap

    public void setMinIdleSwap(int min)

  Sets the minimum time in seconds that a session must be idle before it can be swapped out of memory due to maxActiveSession. Set it to -1 if it can be swapped out at any time.

### setContainer

    public void setContainer(Container container)

### getStore

    public Store getStore()

  Return the Store object which manages persistent Session storage for this Manager.

### getSaveOnRestart

    public boolean getSaveOnRestart()

  Indicates whether sessions are saved when the Manager is shut down properly. This requires the unload() method to be called.

### setSaveOnRestart

    public void setSaveOnRestart(boolean saveOnRestart)

  Set the option to save sessions to the Store when the Manager is shut down, then loaded when the Manager starts again. If set to false, any sessions found in the Store may still be picked up when the Manager is started again.

    public void clearStore()

  Clear all sessions from the Store.

### processPersistenceChecks

    public void processPersistenceChecks()

  Called by the background thread after active sessions have been checked for expiration, to allow sessions to be swapped out, backed up, etc.

### createSession

    public Session createSession()

  Return a new session object as long as the number of active sessions does not exceed maxActiveSessions. If there aren't too many active sessions, or if there is no limit, a session is created or retrieved from the recycled pool.

  Specified by:
    `createSession` in interface `Manager`
  Overrides:
    `createSession` in class `ManagerBase`
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if a new session cannot be instantiated for any reason

                        throws java.io.IOException

  Return the active Session, associated with this Manager, with the specified session id (if any); otherwise return `null`. This method checks the persistence store if persistence is enabled, otherwise just uses the functionality from ManagerBase.

    `findSession` in interface `Manager`
  Overrides:
    `findSession` in class `ManagerBase`
  Parameters:
    `id` - The session id for the session to be returned

    `java.io.IOException` - if an input/output error occurs while processing this request

### load

    public void load()

  Load all sessions found in the persistence mechanism, assuming they are marked as valid and have not passed their expiration limit. If persistence is not supported, this method returns without doing anything.

  Note that by default, this method is not called by the MiddleManager class. In order to use it, a subclass must specifically call it, for example in the start() and/or processPersistenceChecks() methods.

  Specified by:
    `load` in interface `Manager`

### remove

    public void remove(Session session)

  Remove this Session from the active Sessions for this Manager, and from the Store.

    `remove` in class `ManagerBase`
  Parameters:
    `session` - Session to be removed

### unload

    public void unload()

  Save all currently active sessions in the appropriate persistence mechanism, if any. If persistence is not supported, this method returns without doing anything.

  Note that by default, this method is not called by the MiddleManager class. In order to use it, a subclass must specifically call it, for example in the stop() and/or processPersistenceChecks() methods.

  Specified by:
    `unload` in interface `Manager`

### swapIn

    protected Session swapIn(java.lang.String id)
                      throws java.io.IOException

  Look for a session in the Store and, if found, restore it in the Manager's list of active sessions if appropriate. The session will be removed from the Store after swapping in, but will not be added to the active session list if it is invalid or past its expiration.

    `java.io.IOException`

### swapOut

    protected void swapOut(Session session)
                    throws java.io.IOException

  Parameters:
    `session` - The Session to write out.
    `java.io.IOException`

### writeSession

    protected void writeSession(Session session)
                         throws java.io.IOException
