RE: Servlet Session Information

[smet@xxxxxxxxxx]

Yes, the HttpSession information is stored on the server side and mapped to
with the session id of the client (either via cookies or URL rewriting).
WebSphere v3+ can be configured with in-memory sessions (default) or with
persistent sessions.  When in-memory is used, the application server
manages the pool of sessions within its JVM.  With persistent sessions, the
session info is stored to a collection as specified on the datasource.

Since this information consists of Java objects, it's most likely that it's
stored in the memory used by the server.

Where exactly does the Servlet store the HttpSession information when I
create a session object?  I believe it is on the server side and mapped to
with the session ID of the client (but please correct me if I am wrong).
So
where exactly would that be on the server?  I also believe that it is
dependant on what application server I am using, since it is part of the
Servlet API...

I did some looking to see what exactly changed when I executed the
following
code in a simple doGet method, and I seem to be unable to find it.

HttpSession httpSession = httpRequest.getSession(true);
httpSession.putValue("Productnumber", "Product1");

Just curious...
