If you just need a "cookie" to programmatically persist your SFSB data, you could serialize the SFSB handle. However, the handle will be different for each SFSB reference used by the same client session. I can't see any portable way of synchronizing / associating data for the same client session within different SFSB instances without passing a "cookie" as a parameter (i.e. as part of the signature of a create method). Could you give some more details about what you want to achieve?

Hi, I also have what seems to be a very simple question but have been pouring over the J2EE API for a few days and can't find a solution. Once Inside a bean I can use the SessionContext and EntityContext objects as a link to the container and the (some) user information. What I want to get is the unique identification that the application server has assigned to that user, especially in the case of stateful session beans. the "getCallerPrinciple()" method isn't helpful because then each client must have a seperate login and that's just not possible. Bottomline, I want the equivalent of the session id you can get from the an HttpServletRequest, or something equivalent. Any idea?
