hi magnus,

my advice would be to only keep a session spanning multiple
http requests if your application is relying on session scoped=20
modifications such as session scoped locks or displaying transient=20
modification to the user before saving.
otherwise i would stay away from an http session in general
and therefore reacquire a new session with every request.

on the other hand for example if you have something like an=20
"anonymous" session that is read-only to begin with then
it may be worth keeping a single session instance around as=20
sort of a poor man's "session pooling".=20
i am not sure if it is worth the effort though, since session=20
creation should be reasonably fast in jackrabbit.

regards,
david
