# Creating a Sessions Configuration

Previous

Next

TopLink Workbench lets you create session instances and save them in the `sessions.xml` file. It represents the `sessions.xml` file as a sessions configuration. Individual session instances are contained within the sessions configuration. You can create multiple sessions configurations, each corresponding to its own uniquely named `sessions.xml` file.

Oracle recommends that you use TopLink Workbench to create and manage sessions. It is the most efficient and flexible approach to session management. For more information about the advantages of this approach, see "Session Configuration and the sessions.xml File".

TopLink Workbench displays sessions configurations and their contents in the Navigator window. When you select a session configuration, its attributes are displayed in the Editor window.
