I have added a servlet to the BASE webapp that does the following:
SessionControl sc =
Application.newSessionControl("net.sf.basedb.clients.web",
request.getRemoteAddr(), null);
sc.login(username, password, null, false);
DbControl dc = sc.newDbControl();
sc.setActiveProject(Project.getById(dc, projectId));
dc.close();
response.sendRedirect(String.format("/base/views/experiments/index.jsp?ID=%s&cmd=ViewItem&item_id=%s",
sc.getId(), experimentId));
Haven't done much testing, but seems to work so far. I'm passing in the project
ID because an experiment can be shared with more than one project (as
previously discussed).
I could make more of an effort to avoid creating unnecessary sessions, but not
sure if this is worthwhile. Presumably I could avoid passing the user's
password by putting the root password in the servlet and impersonating the real
user.
Thanks for all the help,
Mark.

Subject: Re: [basedb-devel] Setting active project via API
A long time ago now, I remember having problems with experiments/projects.
You would think it would be enough to add "Everyone" group to the project
and then it would be visible, but as others have pointed out, the project
has to be active before the expt is visible.
We decided to just share all project items to Everyone and be done with it(*).
You might get the granularity you need by sharing to groups instead.
(* thanks to the BASE developers, we got a much increased max items limit in
list view to make this easy to do)
