What is Session Management?
Keeping track of the user’s preferences over a website or an application as long as the user is logged into the system for a specific time is called Session Management. This lasts until they log out or their session expires. In simpler terms, it’s like keeping a record of user activities when they simply surf the application so that from next time onwards, the user doesn’t have to specify the preferences again.
Session Management in Java
Session is used to save user information momentarily on the server. It starts from the instance the user logs into the application and remains till the user logs out of the application or shuts down the machine. In both cases, the session values are deleted automatically. Hence, it functions as a temporary storage that can be accessed till the user is active in the application and can be accessed when the user requests a URI. This session is stored in binary values, hence maintaining the security aspect, and can be decoded only at the server end.
