HttpSession & Session bean

[suman deb]

why can't we use HttpSession in place of Session bean?

Hi Suman,

Most of the time you surely can and is even recommended. One reason I can think of is that the HttpSession data gets better replicated around the cluster than the bean session data. There are however situation when one have to use session data within SFSBs. One example could be when your application has RMI clients as well.
