/**
 *
 * Provides a way to identify a user across more than one page
 * request or visit to a Web site and to store information about that user.
 *
 * <p>The servlet container uses this interface to create a session
 * between an HTTP client and an HTTP server. The session persists
 * for a specified time period, across more than one connection or
 * page request from the user. A session usually corresponds to one 
 * user, who may visit a site many times. The server can maintain a 
 * session in many ways such as using cookies or rewriting URLs.
 *
 * <p>This interface allows servlets to 
 * <ul>
 * <li>View and manipulate information about a session, such as
 *     the session identifier, creation time, and last accessed time
 * <li>Bind objects to sessions, allowing user information to persist 
 *     across multiple user connections
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>When an application stores an object in or removes an object from a
 * session, the session checks whether the object implements
 * {@link HttpSessionBindingListener}. If it does, 
 * the servlet notifies the object that it has been bound to or unbound 
 * from the session. Notifications are sent after the binding methods complete. 
 * For session that are invalidated or expire, notifications are sent after
 * the session has been invalidated or expired.
 *
 * <p> When container migrates a session between VMs in a distributed container
 * setting, all session attributes implementing the {@link HttpSessionActivationListener}
 * interface are notified.
 * 
 * <p>A servlet should be able to handle cases in which
 * the client does not choose to join a session, such as when cookies are
 * intentionally turned off. Until the client joins the session,
 * <code>isNew</code> returns <code>true</code>.  If the client chooses 
 * not to join
 * the session, <code>getSession</code> will return a different session
 * on each request, and <code>isNew</code> will always return
 * <code>true</code>.
 *
 * <p>Session information is scoped only to the current web application
 * (<code>ServletContext</code>), so information stored in one context
 * will not be directly visible in another.
