HttpSession in JSP

[Shailesh Pillai]

Is it necessary that while doing a project using JSP we need to use Session Attributes? As a beginner, i dont know much about it. Can anyone explain with an example what's the importance of it.

In my project I do have a login page where different users will b logging in at same time. So, can v avoid using HttpSession.

Why would you want to avoid using sessions?

I am not at all aware of the fundamental behind usage of Sessions. Can u briefly xplain its advantages and limitations.

HTTP is a stateless protocol. The session is used to maintain state between requests.
