Interface Session<T>

  • All Superinterfaces:
    java.util.Map

    public interface Session<T>
    extends java.util.Map
    The Session object is a simple leased container for state within a web application. This is essentially a map of key value pairs leased on a fixed duration to ensure it remains active between we requests. If the session remains idle for sufficiently long then it is disposed of by the SessionProvider so that resources occupied can be released.
