Difference between application and session ?..

Session object is used to store state specific information per client basis. It is specific to particular user.
Application object is used to store data which available across the entire application and shared across multiple users sessions.

Session has the expiration time,default time 20 mints.But application object doesn't have the expiration time.

Session object is used to maintain the session of each user. If one user enter in to the application then they get seesion id if he leaves from the application then the session id is deleted.If they again enter in to the application they get different session id.
But for application object the id is maintained for whole application.it doesn't differ for any user.

Answer / santosh

sessions allows information to be stored in one page and accessed in another and it supports any type of object including your own custom data types.

Application state allows you to store global objects that can be accessed by any client.

The coomon thing b/w session and application is both support the same type of objects retain information on the server and uses the same dictionary -based syntax.
