When you configure session management at the Web container
level, all applications and the respective Web modules in the Web
container normally inherit that configuration, setting up a basic
default configuration for the applications and Web modules below it.
However, you can set up different configurations individually for
specific applications and Web modules that vary from the Web container
default. These different configurations override the default for these
applications and Web modules only.
About this task
Note: When you overwrite the default session
management settings on the application level, all the Web modules
below that application inherit this new setting unless they too are
set to overwrite these settings.
Avoid trouble: Session management
configuration is a post-deployment configuration and is tied to existing
targets. If you change the target mapping after you configure session
management, you must return to the session management configuration
panel in the administrative console or use wsadmin scripting and apply
the changes. Apply the changes to module targets if session management
is configured for a web module. Apply the changes to all targets if
session management is configured for an application level.
