That is correct. By default, the sessions are stored in SESSIONS.ser
files in subdirectories of the work directory.

The proper way to disable session persistence is to set the pathname
attribute of <Manager> to an empty string.  You can disable persistence
globally by changing it in conf/context.xml, unless overridden by
individual app's <Context> settings.  See the description of pathname
at:
