+
+ <p>Web crawlers can trigger the creation of many thousands of
sessions as
+ they crawl a site which may result in significant memory
consumption. This
+ Valve ensures that crawlers are associated with a single session
- just like
+ normal users - regardless of whether or not they provide a
session token
+ with their requests.</p>
+
+ <p>This Valve may be used at the <code>Engine</code>,
<code>Host</code> or
+ <code>Context</code> level as required. Normally, this Valve
would be used
+ at the <code>Engine</code> level.</p>
+
+ <p>If used in conjunction with Remote IP valve then the Remote
IP valve
+ should be defined before this valve to ensure that the correct
client IP
+ address is presented to this valve.</p>

+ <p>The <strong>Crawler Session Manager Valve</strong> supports
the
+ following configuration attributes:</p>
+
+ <attributes>
+
+ <attribute name="className" required="true">
+ <p>Java class name of the implementation to use. This MUST
be set to
+
<strong>org.apache.catalina.valves.CrawlerSessionManagerValve</strong>.
+ </p>
+ </attribute>
+
+ <attribute name="crawlerUserAgents" required="false">
+ <p>Regular expression (using <code>java.util.regex</code>)
that the user
+ agent HTTP request header is matched against to determine if
a request
+ is from a web crawler. If not set, the default of
+ <code>.*GoogleBot.*|.*bingbot.*|.*Yahoo! Slurp.*</code> is
used.</p>
+ </attribute>
+
+ <attribute name="sessionInactiveInterval" required="false">
+ <p>The minimum time in seconds that the Crawler Session
Manager Valve
+ should keep the mapping of client IP to session ID in memory
without any
+ activity from the client. The client IP / session cache will
be
+ periodically purged of mappings that have been inactive for
longer than
+ this interval. If not specified the default value of
<code>60</code>
