Re: cookie based session sharing among web apps
No - it breaks the servlet spec. Sessions are scoped to their own webapp. -Tim Harris Cotton wrote: I am keen on having two web applications be able to share sessions. Currently, tomcat creates and maintains a session for each web application for a client. Moving the session id to the url is an option, but one I hope to avoid because of the refactoring it would generate in my applications jsps. In essence, I want tomcat to use / as the url path in the JSESSIONID cookie, and use this session id in all web applications the tomcat server hosts.

RE: cookie based session sharing among web apps
Not as far as I can tell from digging through the session manager code. It looks like each context has their own session manager which stores a list of active sessions in a hashmap. I think you are going to have to get rather creative with this one. I.E. create a patch that allows all tomcat contexts to share the same cookie. --Angus -Original Message- From: Harris Cotton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 11:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: cookie based session sharing among web apps I am keen on having two web applications be able to share sessions.

I guess you could use a filter, and program all the session handling yourself -Original Message- From: Angus Mezick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 8. juli 2003 15:33 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: cookie based session sharing among web apps Not as far as I can tell from digging through the session manager code.

Re: cookie based session sharing among web apps
Yes, details: http://www.fwd.at/tomcat/sharing-session-data-howto.html (of course it's a workaround, but it works great with some restrictions regarding session serialization and clustering as I use a Context to store the shared session data; using a global cookie at root you can share one sessionid with other contexts).

Re: cookie based session sharing among web apps
Ooops - I over-read the comment regarding solely with configuration - well as Tim already pointed out the servlet spec doesn't permit it. You'll have to throw in some Java code to get things running, but finally it's possible to do it - you find a detailed how-to at the link I enclosed. However, I used the Context to store the shared session data which should be ok for smaller traffic, but might cause troubles if lot's of data have to be pumped into shared sessions. Then I'd encourage you to use a database or other persistence mechanisms :) johannes Johannes Fiala [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08.07.2003 23:01 Please respond to Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Re: cookie based session sharing among web apps Yes, details: http://www.fwd.at/tomcat/sharing-session-data-howto.html (of course it's a workaround, but it works great with some restrictions regarding session serialization and clustering as I use a Context to store the shared session data; using a global cookie at root you can share one sessionid with other contexts).
