Hi,

Reading a book about Seam Apress.Beginning.JBoss.Seam.Feb.2007 in the section 
about conversations I've come across the following paragraph:


anonymous wrote : So what happens if you want to price out another flight? 
Well, you could create a
  | complex session management tool to keep a map of the session value tied to 
some ID for
  | each of the new sessions. However, most sites do not work that way, 
because, wow, that?s
  | complex. Instead, they usually rely on the user to open a new browser 
window (which in
  | turn triggers a new session to be created) and price out that flight. At 
that point, you can
  | price out your flights. However, it is impossible for those two session 
objects to know
  | anything about each other. Well, there are ways to be aware of the other 
sessions, but the
  | methods that allowed that have been deprecated for quite some time. There 
are
  | advanced tricks you could do, but nothing you want to try in reality. At 
any rate, what if
  | you wanted those two ?sessions? to be aware of each other? What if there 
was shared data
  | between them that you did not want to repeat? Well, you could not do it. 
However, this is
  | the problem that Conversation contexts attempt to overcome.


As far as I can tell opening a new tab or window does not initiates a new HTTP 
session, simply because browser will send back all the cookies that was stored 
while working in the previous window/tab.

Now the question is, can we or can we not have multiple HTTP sessions  within 
one browser application?
