On reading more closely I find that this directive does not allow me to use
sessions at all.
What I want is to be able to turn them off to start, or at least not create
a new one if there is one in existence already, then turn them on when I
need them.
See if this bit of code helps explain what I mean:
This does not wok as the "off-switch" in the <[EMAIL PROTECTED] part is permanent.
<%@ page
session="false"
%><%
// If this user has an active session... USE IT!
if(null != request.getSession(false))
{
response.sendRedirect("myMainMenu.jsp");
}
else
{
request.getSession();
}
%>
