There is no strict rule to whom a session id belongs. It depends on the browser and your site.
If you have cookies disabled it's quite easy, whenever you open a browser or a window with an url that doesn't contain a session a new session is created. If the url contains a session id for a valid session that session is used. (No matter if it was the same user, the same IP the same OS or what ever) If you have cookies it depends on the browser if it will use the cookie in a new window (or even in a new browser). If the cookie is present and the session is valid tomcat will use it (again anything else doesn't matter) otherwise a new sesion will be created. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mauro Daniel Ardolino [mailto:mauro@;altersoft.com.ar] > Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 3:38 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Session start > > So reading your answer I think that the problem is to > who belongs the session id.
