One scenario is that the session stores a serialized object in it's attributes, and after a redeployment there in an incompatible class change.
Using the setter `SessionCache.setRemoveUnloadableSessions(true)` will allow the `SessionDataStore` to delete the unreadable session from persistent storage.
This can be useful from preventing the scavenger from continually generating errors on the same expired, but un-restorable, session.
==== Configuring Sessions via Jetty XML
With the provided session modules, there is no need to configure a context xml or `jetty-web.xml` file for sessions.
That said, if a user wishes to configure sessions this way, it is possible using link:#jetty-xml-syntax[Jetty IoC XML format.]
Below is an example of how you could configure a the link:#configuring-sessions-file-system[`FileSessionDataStore`], but the same concept would apply to any of the *SessionDataStores discussed in this chapter:
[source, xml, subs="{sub-order}"]
----
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
<Call id="sh" name="getSessionHandler">
<Set name="sessionCache">
<New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.DefaultSessionCache">
<Arg><Ref id="sh"/></Arg>
<Set name="sessionDataStore">
<New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.FileSessionDataStore">
<Set name="storeDir">/tmp/sessions</Set>
</New>
</Set>
</New>
</Set>
</Call>
</Configure>
----
The example above functions in either a `jetty-web.xml` file or a link:#using-basic-descriptor-files[context xml descriptor file.]

[NOTE]
If you explicitly configure the `SessionCache` and `SessionDataStore` for a `SessionHandler` in a context xml file or `jetty-web.xml` file, any session modules you already have enabled are ignored.
So, for example, if you had enabled the `session-store-gcloud module` for your sever, you could force a particular webapp to use the `FileSessionDataStore` by explicitly configuring it in either a context xml file or a `jetty-web.xml` file as shown above.
