Hello,
I thank everyone that has responded so far. I am using
multiple iplanet servers connected to a single Oracle db
which will have the users information I was thinking that
HttpSession would do the job since it can use cookies.
here is the situation;
3 web servers
web1 web2 web3 (iplanet mirrors)
and a database
db1
user comes to to the site and logs in at web2.
He gets a session. as he travels through the site
he may go from web2 to web2 or web1 randomly. I want to try to avoid
the user having the user log in as he hits each mirrored web server.
The cookie spec says that you can specify a domain so that if I set a cookie location
at
domain.com, it is usuable at www.domain.com ww2.domain.com commerce.domain.com
as long as the every past the last 2 dots "." matches the domain value.
I guess I could just use the cookie object but then I would lose all the cool
functionlity
of the HttpSession object.
ideas?
