Hi, I have a question regarding the use of HttpSessionFacade. It appears that many instances of this object can wrap the same *real* session. These objects are th en recycled by tomcat (unbinding the facade from the real session). This recycli ng happens prior to the session being invalidated which can cause troubles on se rvlet objects which use the session. What are the rules that govern when a facade is recycled? Previous mailing-list threads recommend to use the context to store servlet app lication data but I'm confused as to why the HttpSession object provides an inte rface to set/get data if not for the application to store data that should be pe rsisted accross requests but used within a single session. thanks, dominic.
