[DBA] jobs-users/server-sessions

Dear all @BaseX, Could you please explain the exact meaning of the server sessions table in the dba jobs-users window ? I expected to find a list of (servlet) sessions, but instead one can see all the session variables (and among them the session ids). Is it expected behavior ? In that case what does it mean to 'kill' a session variable ? Thank you for showing session ids in the log ! Best regards, Fabrice Etanchaud Groupe FBO

Hi Fabrice, We should definitely extend the DBA documentation in our Wiki (except there’s someone else out there who’d like to get this done?…).

As there is no clear way of specifying what a session id is, we currently list all session variables in this table. With BaseX 8.6, session information will also be evaluated to find out who is currently logged in in a web application [1]. We could potentially use the same session variable filter for the server sessions table. Ideally, we will manage one day to bring BaseX user and server session data closer together. Ideas are welcome.

Killing an entry simply means deleting the entry [2]. Cheers, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Logging#RESTXQ [2] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/blob/master/basex-api/src/main/webapp/dba/jobs-users/kill-session.xqm
