Subject: Multiple sessions

Is it possible to create muliple sessions for the same user.  If a user
opens two browser windows, both windows share the same session scoped beans.
This leads to pretty bothersome effects when, for instance, the bean
preserves visual state or the user would like two instances of the same
form, or would like to login into a site under different user names, etc.

To really have two sessions you can do one or a combination of the following:
1) Use urls to manage session state rather than cookies
2) Install two browsers (that's what I do for testing since its best to test with IE and Netscape anyway)

Do you really need two sessions per browser? Perhaps you could put a random identifer in each newly created page and have a single bean manage info between the pages.

Hope that helps,
