Ooops - I over-read the comment regarding "solely with configuration" - well as Tim already pointed out the servlet spec doesn't permit it. You'll have to throw in some Java code to get things running, but finally it's possible to do it - you find a detailed how-to at the link I enclosed.
However, I used the Context to store the shared session data which should be ok for smaller traffic, but might cause troubles if lot's of data have to be pumped into shared sessions. Then I'd encourage you to use a database or other persistence mechanisms :) johannes "Johannes Fiala" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08.07.2003 23:01 Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc Subject Re: cookie based session sharing among web apps Yes, details: http://www.fwd.at/tomcat/sharing-session-data-howto.html (of course it's a workaround, but it works great with some restrictions regarding session serialization and clustering as I use a Context to store the shared session data; using a global cookie at root you can share one sessionid with other contexts).
