/**
* A <b>Manager</b> manages the pool of Sessions that are associated with a
* particular Container. Different Manager implementations may support
* value-added features such as the persistent storage of session data,
* as well as migrating sessions for distributable web applications.
* <p>
* In order for a <code>Manager</code> implementation to successfully operate
* with a <code>Context</code> implementation that implements reloading, it
* must obey the following constraints:
* <ul>
* <li>Must implement <code>Lifecycle</code> so that the Context can indicate
* that a restart is required.
* <li>Must allow a call to <code>stop()</code> to be followed by a call to
* <code>start()</code> on the same <code>Manager</code> instance.
* </ul>
