Hello - I'm using tomcat 5 and was wondering how session info is stored - is it stored server side in memory? Can anyone point me to some documentation about this? Thanks, Kimberly
A j2ee container normally stores all session information server side.
Depending on your connection type (stateless/http or statefull/https) the container will send a cookie to the client's webbrowser to keep the user's requests aligned with the session. The cookie won't contain any user information, just a unique id binding their browser instance to their current session.
You can send specific information back to the client in a cookie as well, but that would be an explicit operation of creating a cookie.
