Session query

[Philip Zac]

hello,

When I store session for example given below...

getRequest().setAttribute("CONTRACTDETAILS", contract);

And I did not set the time limit.

Will it be destroyed after the computer shut down or ......??

Thanks

It will be destroyed when the session times out, becomes invalidated or the server is shut down. You set session life time in web.xml.

Paul Sturrock gave the correct answer for the session (though the session isn't necessarily lost when the server shuts down). But your code uses the request to store the attribute, not the session. In this case the object goes out of scope as soon as the request is complete.

The code you posted does not store anything is session scope. You've stored the object in request scope.

this code is only used to set/store the attributes, not the session object.
You need to add...

 HttpSession sess=request.getSession();  

to get a session,and

  sess.setAttribute("name","value");  

to set the attribute in the session.
