It think you're comparing apples and oranges. Sessions and requests are not
the same thing. They are different objects with different functionality.
There is no way for you to write, in a servlet for example
request.setParameter("name", value);
and then in a JSP write this
session.getValue("name");
That will not work. You can use session objects to pass data to a page but
you must specifically remove/invalidate it or else it will stay around for
the lifetime of the session.
