Hi Mahesh,
There is a reason why you cannot find anything :-) it is because using
HTTP sessions breaks the REST stateless constraint:
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm#sec_5_1_3
and we do not encourage this to be broken.
If you want to break this constraint you can do one of the following:
1) Inject the HttpServletRequest [1] and enable the session from
that; or
2) Annotate a resource class with PerSession [2] if you want the
state of the resource to be associated with a
session. Or use a DI framework like Spring or Guice and use the
equivalent mechanism to declare the life-
cycle
