How is a session mapped to a socket. I mean, whenever a request comes from a new client, a new socket connection is created at the server and a session is started for that user(if a session is needed). How is this mapping done.

The best way to think of this is in terms of the Thread that is assigned to a particular request, not the socket. Those details are taken care of by the servlet engine. The engine can see if a session has been assigned to this user by looking for a session id in the HTTP request cookies or as part of a rewritten URL. Bill
