Servlet Contexts and sessions

[Andy Mauro]

Hey all.

This is sortof a JSP/Servlet related question, but it falls within the scope
of this forum:

Can someone give me a compelling reason why sessions cannot be shared across
contexts? I realize this is part of the Servlet 2.2 spec, and not strictly
speaking a tomcat issue, but perhaps there is a way to work around this
limitation in tomcat?

I can't think of a good reason for disallowing session sharing between
contexts. Ideas?

Thanks in advance,
-Andy
