Hello all -
A question regarding sessions:
Assume that sessions are tracked in a web application, ie.
request.getSession(true) is used to grab sessions. Now, a client makes 2
or concurrent requests to a servlet after a session has been established,
say by hitting a submit button twice on a form. Within the doPost method
which of the following is true:
1) Both calls to request.getSession(true) return the exact same object
2) Both calls to request.getSession(true) return two different session
objects that contain the same information.
I need to be able to synchronized actions at a client level, so that if two
requests come from the same client they execute serially, but two requests
come from two different clients, they can interact concurrently. The only
way I could think to do this was with a synchronized block on
HttpSession. This won't work, however, if each request creates a new
HttpSession per request. The api doesn't specify behavior that I could
see.....
Thanks for the insight.
