I have a few questions about the HttpSession.
1.I was going through one of the articles at
http://jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=1079642 It states that session id gets stored in the database. My confusion is, when i install a server ( Orion in my case ) I have'nt connected to the database yet and i use HttpSession and it works just fine. Does HttpSession id get saved in the database?? As far as my knowledge goes it gets stored as a key value pair on the server itself...
2.If i have cookies disables, how will the site on which i have fully coded using HttpSession work. Does anyone have a code where we check for Cookies setting before deciding the type of Session Tracking.
And also, i was debating with one of my friends where exactly this above code be embedded.if i only set it on my login page and suppose after entering the site the pranky decides to disable cookies, my web-site goes for a toss ??
And if i put this check on each and every page of my website, does'nt it cause any overhead, am i not hampering the response time ??
