Steps to start using ClientSession with the minimum of fuss:

• Download the clientsession.jar and make sure it it in your server's classpath.
• Ensure the jakarta commons codec library is in your server's classpath.
• Create and configure a SessionManager:

KeyPair pair = //get key pair;
SessionManager sessionManager = new FullSessionManager();
sessionManager.enableSigning(keyPair, "SHA1withDSA");

• Use the SessionManager to create a new session for a client:

ClientSession session = sessionManager.createSession();

• Marshal the session to a string representation:

String sessionString = sessionManager.marshall(session);

• Embed the string in the output page to be resubmitted with the next request. For example, the string could be stored in a hidden field on a form
• When the page is submitted, unmarshall the string back to a session:

ClientSession session = sessionManager.unmarshall(sessionString);
