Hi Pawan,
Didn't understand u'r question well. But as far as I know, the session will continue to exist until the server kills it, or the client logs out.

Hello Pawan,

A session, once created, will exist whether you send a (client-side) redirect or if you do a (server-side) forward. However, if the redirect sends the user to a different host (or even a different web application within the same container), then that host/app will not share the session object.

HTH,
Bryan
