It depends upon whether session id is being stored using cookies or url
rewriting. With cookies, you don't have to worry whether the user
visits other pages in between pages of your app. With url rewriting,
they will lose the session if they go to another page and return by
using a link from that page. (If they use the browsers BACK button,
they won't lose the session.)
It seems that most servlet engines will try and use cookies by default.
If the user doesn't accept cookies (for misplaced privacy and security
concerns), then it will use url rewriting (assuming you have encoded
EVERY single url in your app.)
