Cookies and Sessions

[livingston]

Hi,
Can any tell me the exact difference between cookie and session

I know that Session tracking is dealt with 3 concepts
1. Cookies
2. Url rewriting
3. hidden fields

and we r creating a HttpSession session=req.getSession(true)
is it session or cookie
and after creating this, where is it stored( either in webservet or client m/c)
bye

Hi

Session is same like temporary variable. Session is used to keep track of user's. Session will be stored in client machine. Application variables are stored in server. Session will be deleted if user closes the browser window.

Cookies is a small file stored in temporary internet folder. It is used to store some information on client machine. It's size will be maximum 4kb
