The client always need to track/identify the session,
not always store the session state.
Then you have the responsibility on the storing the
session state. There is a point in storing this
session state in the business components (ie.
statefull session beans, they are after all designed
for this use).
I often use the session-state programming-model given
to me for free by JSP. It stores the state in the
HttpSession which (almost always) are stored in the
web-server. It makes no difference if the client is
WAP, Web, or anything else since the state never
really leaves the server. To my knowledge though, WAP
1.1 has no session-awareness builtin... (request for
comment) So there, the problem is solved... :-)
