I think the spec. makes this possible...(provided the both the
applications(context) are on the same container and the same JVM)
First obtain the context of the other application
ServletContext rt = getServletContext().getContext("/jack/");
then set the session as an attribute in the context of other application
rt.setAttribute("session",session);
Then the session object will be available in the other context........
Any comments are welcome!!
