If you come from developing servlets/JSPs then your first question will be: How do JAXFront sessions relate to HTTP sessions?
JAXFront DOM handlers are living in sessions, which are administratered inside the JAXFront runtime environment. The sessions are kept in parallel to HTTP sessions, i.e. HTTP sessions may be used by other servlets/JSPs that may be part of your web application - but JAXFront itself does not require them. It is no problem to reach HTTP sessions from a DOM hanlder object via an API.
Why is JAXFront not using straight HTTP sessions? Well, the ugly problem is that HTTP sessions are sometimes the same for multiple browser instances. If you, in Internet Explorer, open up a new browser from an existing one then the corresponding session object on the server is shared between the browsers. In the JAXFront session management, each instance of a browser has its own clearly assigned session.
