>From the servlet specification:
Section 7: Session Scope
HttpSession objects must be scoped at the application / servlet context level. The
underlying mechanism, such as the cookie used to establish the session, can be shared
between contexts, but the object exposed, and more importantly the attributes in that
object, ***must not be shared between contexts.***
It pays to read the spec before designing =/
All I can think of is storing them in a database based on session ID?
