No you can't reuse the same ID. It has to be unique for per user 
session. Strange things will happen if there are multiple sessions using 
the same ID.

No this will not work. From the BASE point of view your web service 
application is the client. The session ID it uses to set the active 
project can't be transfered to another client (eg. a web browser).

You'll need to add code to the BASE web server application. Eg. add your 
own servlets, JSP:s, web services, etc. that does the hard work for you 
using the BASE core API directly. I don't think it can be done by using 
the current web service API or by calling the JSP scripts.
