      boolean isServletContainerSessions()
      Returns true if session management and storage is managed by the underlying Servlet container or false if managed by Shiro directly (called 'native' sessions).

      If sessions are enabled, Shiro can make use of Sessions to retain security information from request to request. This method indicates whether Shiro would use the Servlet container sessions to fulfill its needs, or if it would use its own native session management instead (which can support enterprise features - like distributed caching - in a container-independent manner).

      Returns:
      true if session management and storage is managed by the underlying Servlet container or false if managed by Shiro directly (called 'native' sessions).
