It depends on the portal site forwarding servlets. It's possible they will forward you the appropriate session information, in which case you'll get a session associated with the original client browser. Or the portal site could completely sanitize the requests, in which case you won't get any sessions at all. No way to tell in advance. Note that servlets sessions are (generally) based on cookies or url-rewriting, so the IP address of the client doesn't matter, just whether you get the appropriate cookie or URL parameter. -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
