Why store session in Session Bean instead of HttpSession?

Title: Why store session in Session Bean instead of HttpSession?

Hello List;

I wonder why someone would need to use STSB and undergo a resource usage problem instead of just  using the HttpSession.

Is the idea to use your own session object rather than storing objects under keys in the hashtable?
