Re: Split Thread with 2 browsers
Dne t 13. prosinec 2001 15:18 Alistair Hopkins napsal(a): IE specific: If you open a new window of IE from the old one (hyperlink, FILE NEW WINDOW) then it shares session cookies If you open a new IE session by command from the OS (Start menu, desktop shortcut) it doesn't share them. Q.: can you launch a new window by putting in a hyperling to (eg) 'IEXPLORE http://yoursite/yourpage'? Nasty! There are three stupid things here: 1)By your Start menu you started new PROGRAM, not only new WINDOW! 2)You assume that MSIE is in the path and the name of the program is IEXPLORE 3)You assume the user uses MSIE 4)You assume the user uses Windows -- Oto 'tapik' Buchta -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Split Thread with 2 browsers
Desired functionality: User opens browser, clicks through several pages as a certain user type then opens a second browser because they want to be a different user type. The user should be able to proceed in either browser without session information being overwritten in the other browser's session. Has anyone implemented any similar functionality? Note: using tomcat 4.x as http server and JSP container.
RE: Split Thread with 2 browsers
You should be able to implement this functionality using URL rewriting where the session identifier is stored on the query string rather than as a cookie in the browser. In this way once the user opens a new window and logs in again you can create a new session in the second browser.

RE: Split Thread with 2 browsers
thank you Conor for the quick response. this works if the second browser is launched from the desktop but if the second browser is launched using Ctrl+N from the first browser both browsers share the same session. is there any way around this? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Split Thread with 2 browsers You should be able to implement this functionality using URL rewriting where the session identifier is stored on the query string rather than as a cookie in the browser.

RE: Split Thread with 2 browsers
Even if you open a new browser with Ctrl+N, the user will have to login the second user, at which point a new session is generated and maintained in the query string of the URL. This implies the following: 1. every successful login will generate a new session 2. a new login will not invalidate an existing session Conor. -Original Message- From: John Regan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 11:49 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Split Thread with 2 browsers thank you Conor for the quick response. this works if the second browser is launched from the desktop but if the second browser is launched using Ctrl+N from the first browser both browsers share the same session. is there any way around this? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Split Thread with 2 browsers You should be able to implement this functionality using URL rewriting where the session identifier is stored on the query string rather than as a cookie in the browser.
