RE: question in user state management using Session

Hi Suhas,
 
You might try something like this:
 
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
 
If (session != null)
{
   id = session.getId();
}
 
Hope this helps,
 
Jon.

Subject: question in user state management using Session
 
Hi 
I want to know the http request header key  -
 
I'm writing request.getSession(true)  in the jsp .  This method in turn
might be settting the browser header key .( dunno exactly name of that key)
 .But I think that header key is "set-cookie = 12313 " ( this can be the
unique
 session id that server has to set for identifying a user) .
So whenever server receives this key in the http request , server identifies
the user , if the key is present in the request
 
 Server checks the hashtable stored in the server  and retrieves the
 information for that 
 
In another jsp page I tried to print all the request header keys , But there
wasn't any such key found . ?
 
Can u tell how to check for that key

Thanks Jon but I want some  more clarification .
I just want to show one of my friend that 
the browser sends the unique id back to the server .  That's the reason
I was printing the request header keys from the browser . ( It wil be
returned to the server if Server had set that using request.getSession()
method before ) .  But  printing those request parameters does not show
such key ???
How can I prove that  ??
