Session ID

The HTTP protocol itself is stateless and it cannot carry stateful information for subsequent requests by itself. WebSphere V5 can work around this HTTP protocol defect and provide session support as well as session failover support. WebSphere V5 keeps the user's session information on the server, using different options:

In-memory, which provides no failover support.

Into a database or into message brokers, which provides failover support.

WebSphere recognizes the user's session information in three ways:

SSL session ID

Cookies

URL rewriting

Refer to 5.5, Session management for more information.
