Hi

I'm familiar with the way sessions work when I have a browser talking to a
servlet, but how does this work when my web application is not talking
directly to the client browser. We have been asked to participate in a
portal site that will allow clients to place orders with us via the portal
site. In this case the client browser is connected to the portal site. The
portal site recieves the requests via their own servlets which make an Http
call to servlets on our system, recieve the response and forward them to the
client browser. If I create a session object on our system, does this still
represent the session between the original client browser and our system or,
as I suspect, does this represent the session between ourselves and the
portal site?

If as I suspect its the latter, then presumably I only see one session which
is shared by all clients. What would I then need to do to be able to track,
for example, which clients had been authenticated on our system and any that
had not?

Hope that this makes sene.

Regards
Roger
