 | 223 |   <p>If you are using the <em>Standard Manager Implementation</em>

 | 
 | 239 |   sessions in individual files (named based on the session identifier)
 | 
 | 240 |   in a configurable directory.  Therefore, you are likely to encounter
 | 
 | 241 |   scalability problems as the number of active sessions increases, and
 | 
 | 242 |   this should primarily be considered a means to easily experiment.</p>
 | 
 | 243 | 
 | 
 | 244 |   <p>To configure this, add a <code><Store></code> nested inside
 |
