What is the "Main Attribute" for in Session Monitoring?

Question

Anybody know what the "Main Attribute" column is for in session monitoring or how
I can use it?
Can't find it mentioned anywhere.

Answer 1

Does this actually work in WLS 6.1 SP1 ? I have session
monitoring enabled, have set the ConsoleMainAttribute to
"username", and have actually set an attribute with that name
to a string value in each session, but still get null returned
from getMainAttribute() on ServletSessionRuntimeMBean. Any
information, hints, advice, or vague prophecies on how to
successfully use this API would be appreciated.

The Main Attribute in the console is mapped to the ConsoleMainAttribute
in the
weblogic.xml file.
This attribute specified as follows in the weblogic.xml:
<session-param>
<param-name>ConsoleMainAttribute</param-name>
<param-value>mySession</param-value>
</session-param>
As per: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60/programming/weblogic_xml.html
If you enable Session Monitoring in the WebLogic Server Administration
Console, set
this parameter to the name of the session parameter you will use to identify
each
session that is monitored.
This parameter can only be a String in WLS 60. In 61, this parameter
can be an Object
and its toString method will be called to display its value.
