POWhat is session in Java?
text
Body
copied!<p>So far I understand Httpsession concepts in Java. </p> <pre><code> HttpSession ses = req.getSession(true); </code></pre> <p>will create a session object, according to the request.</p> <pre><code>setAttribute("String", object); </code></pre> <p>will, bind the 'String', and value with the Session object.</p> <pre><code>getAttribute("String"); </code></pre> <p>will return an object associated with the string, specified.</p> <p>What I am not able to understand is: I am creating a session object like <code>HttpSession ses = req.getSession(true);</code> and setting a name for it by calling <code>setAttribute("String", object);</code>. Here, This code resides inside the server. For every person, when he tries to login the same code in the server will be executed. <code>setAttribute("String", object);</code> in this method the string value is a constant one. So, each session object created will be binded by the same string which I have provided. When I try to retrieve the string to validate his session or while logout action taken the <code>getAttribute("String");</code> ll return the same constant string value(Am I right!!?? Actually I don't know, I'm just thinking of its logic of execution). Then, how can I be able to invalidate. </p> <p>I saw this type of illustration in all of the tutorials on the WEB. Is it the actual way to set that attribute? Or, real application developers will give a variable in the "String" field to set it dynamically</p> <p><code>(ie. session.setAttribut(userName, userName); //Setting the String Dynamically.. I dono is it right or not.)</code></p> <p>And my final question is</p> <pre><code>WebContext ctx = WebContextFactory.get(); request = ctx.getHttpServletRequest(); </code></pre> <p>What do the two lines above do? What will be stored in ctx & request? <code>HttpSession ses = req.getSession(true);</code> will creates new session means. What value stored in ses.</p>
