/**
 * Sessions are a convenient way to connect users to web pages.  Because
 * HTTP requests are intrinsically stateless, cookies and sessions are
 * needed to implement more sophisticated interfaces like user preferences.
 *
 * <p>Because a web site might easily have thousands of simultaneous
 * sessions, session attributes generally store small chunks of data
 * rather than large objects.
 *
 * <p>The servlet engine controls the number of active sessions through
 * two methods: a time limit on inactive sessions, and
 * a cap on the number of active sessions.  The cap on the number of
 * sessions is controlled by an LRU mechanism, so active sessions will not
 * be culled.
 *
 * Session configuration is per-application.  It looks like:
 * <code><pre>
 * &lt;session-config session-max='4096'
 *                 session-timeout='30'/>
 * </pre></code>
 *
 * <h4>Load balancing</h4>
 *
 * When using load balancing with Apache, sessions will always go to the
 * same JVM.  The session id encodes the JVM which first created the session.
