Printed	Page 52 much of the page	Since the book's printing, the JDBCStore has changed to also include a database column to hold the app_name. This column name can be configured via the JDBCStore attribute named sessionAppCol. This was added to allow sessions from different contexts to store their sessions in different parts of the database so that they don't try to de-serialize sessions that don't belong to them (which caused exceptions).
