Hi!

It depends on your requirement,

The various ways in which you can manage the session

1)       use the HttpSession class

2)       use cookies for session management

3)       use hidden variables for session management.

As far as I know from my experience opening the different browser window in the same session does not affect the session variables,

However if a user opens a different instance of a browser then there is a problem.

Subject: Using HttpSession

Hello,
 
I have several question about using HttpSession (javax.servlet.http.HttpSession) for storing request information.
1. Is it a good idea to use HttpSession to store information about user request? If not, what are the alternatives? The problem is that the request contains a little bit more information, than I want to pass in parameters to the servlet.
 
2. Are there any ways of distinguishing sessions from different browsers from the same user? The problem is: if we use HttpSession to store request parameters and the user decides to open one more browser window and change the request parameters in the second window and then return to the first window to perform request, the information about request is not going to be correct.
 
Thank you for your attention,
wishing good luck in developing servlets,
Nadya
