Answer / sandeep m
Http Protocol is stateless protocol. Hence server cannot
identify the request is from same client or different.
Hence server can treat every request as new request and may
ask for authentication for each request.
Hence for server to remember client and to respond in an
interactive way server needs to remember the client and its
activities. For which javax.servlet.http.HttpSession
interface is provided. Which helps in session tracking of
client requests.
HttpSession is one of the 4 ways of session tracking
mechanisms.
