One option might be to use the Filter technique that was just introduced in
the latest Servlet Spec. You could run your Authentication and Registration
system as the same Servlet Filter on each site. Not sure how viable this
is, but it's probably worth a look.

Subject: [SERVLET-INTEREST] Forwarding request to multiple web servers - the
best solution
> Hello there,
> Need some ideas for this system:
>
> I need to share one user registration table among multiple sites, URLs
stored in a
> property file.
>
> I am thinking of forwarding HTTP request to all sites that are in the
"network" (i.e.
> listed in Properties). There are only 3 actions for the user: Add, Update
and View, so it
> shouldn't be too difficult... Unless I am missing something big and
important here.

> Has anyone had to resolve this kind of problem?

> My concern is about re-sending HTTP request object several times - how can
I send the

GenericServlet.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("http://www.first.co
m").forward(request,
> response);
>
>
GenericServlet.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("http://www.second.c
om").forward(request,
> response);
>
>
GenericServlet.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("http://www.third.co
m").forward(request,

doesn't it stop

user info on
