Doubt on session() and session(false)

[Seetharaman Venkatasamy]

Hi All,


HttpSession session=request.getSession(true); this will create new session

and HttpSession session=request.getSession(false); this will maintain existing session right?


if yes, i should get out put like
-------------------------------------------
EXISTING SESSION 1ST SESSION

NEW SESSION [empty]


-------------------------------------------

but i am getting:
---------------------------------------
EXISTING SESSION 1ST SESSION
NEW SESSION 1ST SESSION
---------------------------------
please explain me . Hope you understand my point

   
  
  HttpSession session=request.getSession(true);
            session.setAttribute("key","1ST SESSION");
            session=request.getSession(false);
            out.println("EXISTING SESSION"+session.getAttribute("key"));
            session=request.getSession(true);
            out.println("NEW SESSION"+session.getAttribute("key"));

HttpSession session=request.getSession(true);

this will create new session

Not necessarily. If a session exists already, it will return that one. The first paragraph of the javadocs of getSession(boolean) mentions this.
