Well the precise details depend on the container, but most containers by default set a cookie called JSESSIONID that is used to maintain the session ID and the cookie last until browser logout. The server-side session data is usually kept alive 20 minutes from the most recent time a request used that session ID, but it's configurable in web.xml, and perhaps overridable in whatever container-specific config is available. >> Request scope is during the "current page" which means the original page >> request and any associated AJAX callbacks and other function bindings. > Does this include redirects to the same page with additional query > parameters?

If you want something bookmarkable, you should explicitly place whatever parameters need to persist in the query string -- function mapping bindings are ephemeral, and even so the session would be expired by the time the bookmark was used. > Thanks again!
