You can force the session id by appending the session id between the servlet
and the parameters.
e.g dynamically generate the url
http://www.company.com/servlet/servletname;jsessionid=1234567890?paramet1=1
where the 1234567890 is added via the get session.getId() method.

Subject: Client session problems when MSIE is run within Outlook


I don't have MS Outlook myself, so I can't do any testing on this. But
I have a customer who has been running a browser session from within
Outlook.

Some of my pages have javascript links that open a new browser window
to view a page. When she accesses one of these popups from within
Outlook, the newly popped-up window fails to supply the correct
session cookie and a new session is created for that window. Needless
to say, this really screws up the application.

Is it possible to *force* the encoding of the session ID in the page
which contains the link that generates the popup even if cookies are
used for the session ID? Right now, I'm using response.encodeURL(),
but that does nothing when cookies are used. I would rather not use an
encoded session ID for all links, just ones that open new windows.


Jeff
