Data stored in the session is only viable for the duration of the Session
itself. In most servlet engines, this is about 30 minutes from the last
request. Once the session has timed out, all the data is unbound and
garbage collected if not referenced elsewhere in the servlet. If you wish
to maintain user data that is persistent, the session is not the place to
keep it. I would suggest keeping some primary key information in the
session and keep the user data in a database for quick retrieval. That way
you don't have to worry about losing your data when the server shuts down
and the session is used for what it was designed for.
