title: Why set a JSP page session = "false" directive?
body: <p>I was wondering when you would want to set the following page directive in a JSP:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;%@ page session="false" %&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>I know that it prevents the creation of the session object, but when would you need to do that? Is it considered a best practice when a JSP does not need to access the implicit session?</p>
