Max is correct ... however the alternative would be to implement the method
like this:
protected HttpSession(HttpServletRequest request) {
return request.getSession();
}
Of course, that's so simple that there is not much value add in providing a
helper method for it. Seems simpler just to call request.getSession()
yourself.
