<a name="31" href="#31">31</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * have not been stopped or expired), and validates each one. If a session is</em>
<a name="32" href="#32">32</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * found to be invalid (e.g. it has expired), it is updated and saved to the EIS.</em>
<a name="33" href="#33">33</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;p/&gt;</em>
<a name="34" href="#34">34</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * This method is necessary in order to handle orphaned sessions and is expected to be run at</em>
<a name="35" href="#35">35</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * a regular interval, such as once an hour, once a day or once a week, etc.</em>
<a name="36" href="#36">36</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * The &amp;quot;best&amp;quot; frequency to run this method is entirely dependent upon the application</em>
<a name="37" href="#37">37</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * and would be based on factors such as performance, average number of active users, hours of</em>
<a name="38" href="#38">38</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * least activity, and other things.</em>
<a name="39" href="#39">39</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;p/&gt;</em>
<a name="40" href="#40">40</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * Most enterprise applications use a request/response programming model.</em>
<a name="41" href="#41">41</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * This is obvious in the case of web applications due to the HTTP protocol, but it is</em>
<a name="42" href="#42">42</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * equally true of remote client applications making remote method invocations. The server</em>
<a name="43" href="#43">43</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * essentially sits idle and only &amp;quot;works&amp;quot; when responding to client requests and/or</em>
<a name="44" href="#44">44</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * method invocations. This type of model is particularly efficent since it means the</em>
<a name="45" href="#45">45</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * security system only has to validate a session during those cases. Such</em>
<a name="46" href="#46">46</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &amp;quot;lazy&amp;quot; behavior enables the system to lie stateless and/or idle and only incur</em>
<a name="47" href="#47">47</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * overhead for session validation when necessary.</em>
<a name="48" href="#48">48</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;p/&gt;</em>
<a name="49" href="#49">49</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * However, if a client forgets to log-out, or in the event of a server failure, it is</em>
<a name="50" href="#50">50</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * possible for sessions to be orphaned since no further requests would utilize that session.</em>
<a name="51" href="#51">51</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * Because of these lower-probability cases, it might be required to regularly clean-up the sessions</em>
<a name="52" href="#52">52</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * maintained by the system, especially if sessions are backed by a persistent data store.</em>
<a name="53" href="#53">53</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;p/&gt;</em>
<a name="54" href="#54">54</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * Even in applications that aren't primarily based on a request/response model,</em>
<a name="55" href="#55">55</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * such as those that use enterprise asynchronous messaging (where data is pushed to</em>
<a name="56" href="#56">56</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * a client without first receiving a client request), it is almost always acceptable to</em>
<a name="57" href="#57">57</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * utilize this lazy approach and run this method at defined interval.</em>
<a name="58" href="#58">58</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;p/&gt;</em>
<a name="59" href="#59">59</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * Systems that want to proactively validate individual sessions may simply call the</em>
<a name="60" href="#60">60</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * {@link #getSession(SessionKey) getSession(SessionKey)} method on any</em>
<a name="61" href="#61">61</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * {@code ValidatingSessionManager} instance as that method is expected to</em>
