You can get the javax.servlet.http.HttpSession from WebApplicationContext.

Just cast current ApplicationContext to WebApplicationContext and get current session from there, example:

        ApplicationContext ctx = getContext();
        WebApplicationContext webCtx = (WebApplicationContext) ctx;
        HttpSession session = webCtx.getHttpSession();

Toolkit app lives in the same http-session as those JSP:s. So it uses the same session timeout, etc. When the session ends (times out), close() will be called from your application.

You can access the request and then session object directly by registering a transaction listener:
http://toolkit.itmill.com/demo/doc/api/com/itmill/toolkit/service/ApplicationContext.TransactionListener.html#transactionStart(com.itmill.toolkit.Application,%20java.lang.Object)
to applicationcontext (yourapp.getApplicationContext()). Then just cast the transactionData object to HttpServletRequest ja getSession from there.
