HttpSession()

[Chidanand Chauhan]

If we use

HttpSession session=request.getSession();

Then it will return the new session whether there is any other pre-existing session or not.

If i do

HttpSession session=request.getSession(false)

then itwill return either null or the pre-existing session.


I suppose.
Please comment whether i am right or not...................

The first place I would go to check this is the API:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html#getSession()
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html#getSession(boolean)
