Is the session needed?

[Filippo De Luca]

Hi all,

I'm working on a GWT 2.3 app. I notice app uses the session to store login info and other stuff. There is a callback intercept the expired session and handle it. My question is: is in a GWT based app the session still needed? can I have a stateless server? thank you.

Yes you can. Use the session if you need.

GWT doesn't use or need a session. If you see a session being used, it must be user code (i.e. your code or a library you're using) or the servlet container (form-based authentication uses an HttpSession, for instance)

Thank you to both,

I looked deeply into the code. My application use the session to store login data and other stuffs. I am going to remove the session dependency step by step.
