No this is not the case. If your application is creating the SessionControl it can give it any session id that you want or let BASE generate an ID, and it can choose which IP to link it with. See the API javadoc at this long URL: http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/latest/api/net/sf/basedb/core/Application.html#newSessionControl(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String) > Is there a way to sort this out?

No, this is not going to change. It is very important to not mess with this since it will make lots of things to not work anymore. /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ basedb-devel mailing list basedb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/basedb-devel
