The Session is Tomcat's internal representation of the data that the webapp
will see in the HttpSession. It more or less acts as the storage for the
information in the HttpSession. In particular, if the session is
passivated, it is the Session object that is written out. What happens is
that the HttpSession instance has a reference to the Session and for the
most part calls methods on the Session to implement it's own methods. In
most configurations, the concrete class implementing the Session interface
is o.a.c.session.StandardSession, and the concrete class implementing
HttpSession is o.a.c.session.StandardSessionFacade. Looking at those
classes should clear up the relationship between the two interfaces.

This represents the session that is particular to this particular Request.
However, if you have access to the Session, you can poke around at other
people's sessions as well.

This is what the Request calls to get the HttpSession that it returns to the
calling webapp.

Yes you are.
