Dear James
 
try to invalidate the session after a specific time interval can solve
your problem as then tomcat will not start a new session unless its
previous session is invalidated.
 
u can achieve this by two ways.
 
either u can declare timeout in the server.xml in conf directory of
tomcat or in your web.xml in webapps u declare the time out. then no
new sessio will be created as long as session is valid.
