Answer / vino

Session state and Application state both are support the
same type of objects and maintain information on the server.

Session state:
- The session object is used to maintain the session of each
user. A user gets a session id when he enters in to an
application. This Id will delete when he leave from that
application. If he enters again he will get a different
session Id.
- Session allows information to be stored in one page and
access in another page and support any type of object.

Application state:

- But the application object, the Id is maintained for whole
application.
- Application state allows storing global objects that can
be accessed by any client.
