A HttpSession created when you log onto a
servlet base web application, it is your user session while you are in the application. The HttpSession exists as long as you are logged onto the application. A Hibernate session is created by Hibernate when you use Hibernate to read and/or write objects to a database. The Hibernate session exist only for the duration of a transaction. If you ask Hibernate for several sessions during a single transaction it will (should) give you the same session. If you ask Hibernate for a session in two different transactions it will (should) give you two different sessions. While you are log into an application with a single HttpSession you may perform many actions that result in Hibernate creating many many session.
Of course the above assumes the application was build using both Servlets and Hibernate.
Hope that makes sense.
