The Session is Tomcat's internal representation of the data that the webapp will see in the HttpSession. It more or less acts as the storage for the information in the HttpSession. In particular, if the session is passivated, it is the Session object that is written out. What happens is that the HttpSession instance has a reference to the Session and for the most part calls methods on the Session to implement it's own methods. In most configurations, the concrete class implementing the Session interface is o.a.c.session.StandardSession, and the concrete class implementing HttpSession is o.a.c.session.StandardSessionFacade. Looking at those classes should clear up the relationship between the two interfaces. >In Request(org.apache.catalina.connector.Request) object I get HttpSession >- request.getSession() and Session - request.getSessionInternal() objects, >but I don't know the difference between this objects on Tomcat's >Architecture.

However, if you have access to the Session, you can poke around at other people's sessions as well. >I know that HttpSession is available from Session object - >session.getSession(). > This is what the Request calls to get the HttpSession that it returns to the calling webapp. >Another question about it is that, when I invalidate the HttpSession, am I >invalidating Session object too? > Yes you are. > > >Thanks for help me, > >Regards from Braga, Portugal > >Bárbara Vieira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
