First, the origin of the session

HTTP is stateless , which means that each request is a separate thread. For example: In the shopping, you choose a product, add to the shopping cart, this is a thread. Then select the B product is the B thread. But each time the thread is independent (for the container, a, B becomes a different user), thread A does not know that there is a b,b or a. How to pay together?

Jan said: How to save the same user multiple request session state ? Natural HTTPS ensures that the connection is secure and that it can be associated with a session.

The problem is how to track the same user and choose a lot of nature:

1.EJB(stateful session Bean Save session state) environment requires the Java EE server with EJB instead of the Web container such as Tomcat.

2, the database (this seemingly omnipotent. For data)

3, is the httpseesionwe want to speak, save the session state of multiple requests across a specific user .

4, the above said HTTPS, the conditions are too harsh.

Second, session mechanism

Mechanism, what words are a bit tall on. In fact, it is to say something inside it. Main two w:what? How?

What is the Session?

Sessions represent the process of a session between a server and a client . Until the session expires (the server shuts down), or the client closes at the end.

How does session works?

Session is stored on the server side , and for each client (customer), through the SessionID to distinguish between different users. Session is implemented with cookie technology or URL rewriting. By default, the cookie technology is implemented, and the server will create a Jsessionid cookie value for this session.

Add :

There is actually another technique: the form hides the field . It can also implement the session mechanism. Just as a supplement, the server responds by modifying the form form and adding a sessionid-like hidden field that can be flagged when it is passed back to the service.

This technology, also can be used in web security, can effectively control CRSF cross-site request forgery .

Iii. detailed introduction of the seesion mechanism process

This is the detailed diagram of the first request of the session. With Cookie technology, I also wrote a Httpsessionbycookieservlett.java servlet demo, simulating the life of seesion. The code is as follows:

Play a small ad:

Masons learn the code on GitHub (synchronous osc git), welcome to Point Star, suggestions, progress together. Address: https://github.com/JeffLi1993

① client sends the first request to the server

At this point, the client wants the server to have its name set to the session.

The container on the ② server produces the user's only SessionID session object and sets the value

It can be seen from the code that by Req.getsession () from the request, the freshman becomes a session object. and set the setattribute ("name", "Jeff"), the key is String,value is the object can be.

At this time, we do not have to use the session through the cookie technology, the container to help us deal with .

③ Container Response set-cookie:jsessionid= ...

We can F12 to see this response.

Can be obtained, each cookie set, has a corresponding Set-cookie head. HttpOnly This cookie is read-only mode. Just the session unique identifier is:jsessionid

④ Browser parses the cookie and saves it to the browser file.

, a cookie file is found for the corresponding session store. The file is protected and cannot be opened. A graphical cookie teaches you how to find the file.

What changes will be made to the second request?

Below, Mason re-visited this address:

① Request again

At this point, the request will have a cookie value:jsessionid= ... This value is passed to the server

② Container Get SessionID
, Association HttpSession

③ Response No Setcookie at this time

But this request, we respond to the value of the last request set. Jeff will print it out!

For the server to get the session, that is, to get the session object from the request, the container will help you find the unique session object based on the cookie.

Mason Memory Small copy: Seesion mechanism, remember two times the request diagram can be.

Donuts ha ~ after the detailed writing. This figure is from the network

Bad guy, that's the attacker. Cross-site request forgery, forgery of user requests to create threats to server data or users. Web security is also a gradual improvement from these foundations.

V. Summary

1. The working mechanism of the session is described roughly, and some safety related. Remember what seesion is, how it is used, and how it can be transferred between server clients.
