∟JSP Implicit Objects
∟Methods Supported by the "session" Object
This section describes methods supported by the 'session' implicit object provided by the JSP container.
session: An implicit object provided by the JSP container to hold information and methods
common to all JSP pages running under one session. The session object is an instance
of a class that implements the javax.servlet.http.HttpSession interface defined by the J2EE
specification.
Here are some methods provided by the 'session' object:
- getAttribute(): Returns the object that is associated to the specified key string
previously saved in the session.
- getAttributeNames(): Returns an Enumeration object that contains all the key strings
saved in the session.
- getCreationTime(): Returns the time when this session was created, measured
in milliseconds since midnight January 1, 1970 GMT.
- getId(): Returns the session ID as a string.
- setAttribute(): Save an object with the specified key string in the session
so that it can be used by the same or another request later in the same session.
- getServletContext(): Returns the ServletContext to which this session belongs.
- getMaxInactiveInterval(): Returns the maximum time interval, in seconds,
that the servlet container will keep this session open between client accesses.
- invalidate(): Invalidates this session then unbinds any objects bound to it.
More information about the session object and sample JSP codes will be give in another chapter.
