Description

Web apps use request.getSession(..) to get a handle to the session object. When DSO sessions are used, the actual instance returned to the application is a wrapper/facade to the “real” session. That facade object cannot be made portable…..

So if an app tries to reference the session object from an attribute in the session, things won’t work.

An example of something that doesn’t work (but should):

session.setAttribute(“my session reference”, session);
