J2EE: SERVLET: Session Tracking in Servlets using Interface HttpSession
Do you like this Article?
- Session tracking in Servlets is done by using Interface HttpSession. It helps to identify a client throughout many page requests or visiting a website and to store details about that client.
- Whenever a request arrives, it checks for the preexisting session object, to fetch details of the client from there, else, if its first request from a new client, its simple creates a session object for that client. These session objects are simple java objects.
- HttpSession contains various methods to handle session object. HttpSession object lives in the server, and it automatically associated with the requester by internal mechanism like cookies or URL-rewriting.
- Whenever an application invokes or removes an object from a session, the session checks whether the object implemented the interface HttpSessionBindingListener or not. If yes, the servlet informs the object that it has been bounded to the session, if not, notifies unbound from the session. This alert goes after the binding methods complete.
Example:
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
/* here, ‘request.getSession(true)’ - returns the current session associated with this request, or if the request does not have a session, creates one. */
ClientDetails client_details = (ClientDetails)session. getAttribute("client_details");
if(client_details != null) {
//that means, existing client, can do something with the client_details
} else {
//create new client_details and store into the session
}
