Venu- We have been encountering the same problem -- what to do when a user launches a second browser window and the session object being accessed is the same. We use an "instance ID" (a random number String) as the name of the HashMap object we store in the session, which in turn has objects within it. For example: session.setAttribute(instanceID, sessionDataObject). The instance ID is passed in the request object from page to page so you can always access a unique session object. The problem still is how to know when to create a new instance ID. You can offer the user a button or link to launch a new browser window and create a new instance then. But when the user right-clicks or uses the browser menu to open a new window, the same request is carried over. If your screens are in a frame, the frame pages can carry the instance ID and the main frameset (which would be what is launched in a new window) could be a servlet which always creates a new instance. I would be interested to hear how other people are handling this problem of multiple windows/single session object. I haven't seen any way to get a JSP to recognize that a new window has been opened and should have a distinct session. I hope some of these ideas help. -katherine -----Original Message----- From: Venu Gopal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 08, 2001 4:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How does the session is maintained incase of multiple loginfrom the same mac? But then how do you get the two distinct users in the two opened windows? They are sharing the same session object. And even if you generate a random number, how can you track in that jsp file and find out? Is there any way to tell jsp to use different session ids/objects for different browser windows which are getting open??
