hi all, what is the difference between the httpsession object and a stateful session bean , we can implement the same functionality what a stateful session bean provides then what is the need for a statefull session bean thanks in advance :roll:
HttpSession is only available to web clients. If you want your Application to maintain session state, regardless of client-type, then Stateful Session Beans are the way to go. Another thing that is typically overlooked is that additional level of transaction control provided by Stateful Session Beans implementing the SessionSynchronization interface. That said, in general I tend to stay away from SFSBs. The majority of J2EE Applications only have a web client and HttpSession objects are easier to work with.
