Hi We have a number of web applications running under the same domain name, on different ports. Each application runs under a separate Apache (1.3.14) and Tomcat (4.0.6) instance. Due to functional requirements, these applications call each other, opening up new browser windows to move the user from one application to the other.
Our problem is this: When one of these applications creates a session it sends the client a cookie called JSESSIONID with the session ID. When this application redirects the user to a second application, if the second application also establishes a session, it sends another cookie, also called JSESSIONID, which invalidates the session established with the first application. We know that we can?t change the name of the cookie (its part of the Servlet specification). We understand that its a problem with how IE identifies cookies (we do not have the problem with Netscape, which identifies cookies with hostname:port), and we do not have the problem with the app server JServ, which identifies the session tracking cookie with the string JServSessionID+<name of servlet zone>. However, we need to allow browsing with IE, and we also want to move up to Tomcat, or at least to a J2EE compliant app server. Any ideas? (Hopefully its just a trivial config parameter, in Apache or Tomcat which we are not setting right) Thanks in advance.
