[Amol Dongre]

[Bear Bibeault]

What happened when you tried it?

[Amol Dongre]

when i called method on session for ex. getAttribute() it throws IllegalStateException so if session is null it should throw nullpointerException

[Mohana Rao Sv]

Illegal state exception occurs when the session has been invalidated/expired, and you try to access it.

Throws IllegalStateException - if Object getAttribute(String name) is called on an invalidated session

HttpSession-getAttribute()

Which answers the question "does it become null"? Doesn't it?

In fact, if you think about it, how could it become null? Do you think that something is going to reach into your code and change variable values out of the blue?
