It's my experience that Tomcat persists sessions by default, my ROOT.xml
doesn't have a Manager. There are a couple of things you have to worry
about if you want the sessions to be valid on restart:
1) Don't store non-serializable objects in the session. (You tend to get
big stacktraces in the logs on both shutdown and startup if you do)
2) Don't down the server for longer than the session timeout setting
(default 30mins). The sessions expire on startup if you do.

If these don't apply then I'm not sure what's wrong because 'worksforme' ;)

HTH,

Jon
