Hi,
Here is a snippet from the jsp1.1 specs explaning this..
"Snippet"
2.7.1.1 Syntax
<%@ page page_directive_attr_list %>
page_directive_attr_list ::= { language=" scriptingLanguage"}
{ extends=" className"}
{ import=" importList"}
{ session="true|false" }
session Indicates that the page requires participation in an (http) session.
If "true" then the implicit script language variable named
"session" of type javax.servlet.http.HttpSession
references the current/new session for the page.
If "false" then the page does not participate in a session; the
"session" implicit variable is unavailable, and any reference to it
within the body of the JSP page is illegal and shall result in a fatal
translation error.
Default is "true".
regds,
Gokul
