Myth or Best practice : <%@ page session="false" %>

[Razi Ansari <ra...@hotmail.com>]

<%@ page session="false" %>

Hello people

I wanted to enquire from the experts about something that I had read.

Is it true that inculuding the above directive in a jsp will prevent the 
session object from being
created for that jsp, hence avoiding the creation of unnecessary objects??

Or Is it just that the session object will not be available for that jsp ??

what is the opinion of gurus out here, Can the inclusion of the above 
directive be considered
as a best practice to be followed.

Pls enlighten me . All replies will be valued and appreciated.

Thnx for clicking and reading through.

Warm Regards
Razi

Yes. By default, a session variable is implicitly created for every JSP. The 
session variable is then initialized with the exsiting session or creates a 
new session if needed.

This behavior is disabled via <%@ page session="false" %>.

But you are still allowed to code in your JSP:
<% HttpSession mySession = request.getSession(true);%>
