    private String username;
    private String password;

1. session, request, application are the actually HttpSession,HttpServletRequest and ServletContext objects while sessionScope, requestScope and applicationScope provide access to all the session, request and application scoped attributes.

You can say that applicationScope > sessionScope > requestScope.

• applicationScope attributes will be accessible to all the sessions, all the requests across the web applications. These attributes stay alive as long as application is alive
• sessionScope attributes will be accessible to all the requests across the current HttpSession. These attributes stay alive as long as session is alive
• requestScope attributes will be accessible from the current request only. Once the response is completed, they are gone.
