Oh come on guys reads the specs, RTFM, and read through this lists
archive.
Pathetic question and pathetic bunch of replies. Please do a little
research before replying.
The session is "SERVER SIDE" only. Cookies or Url rewriting are used to
allow the servlet engine to identify a client session. Any objects you
put in the session are stored server side only. When a request comes in
from a client who holds a session, either the rewritten URL, or the
cookie will identify the client's current session in the servlet engine,
and hence give you access to the server side session variables.
