Our architecture team suggested one solution for us. One web app writes key information into table in our database and generate one key id. Put this key id as request parameter and call our action method using url redirection. We just have about 4 parameters to pass because most of data have already stored in table in our database. Using url redirect is because two web apps are in two different jvms, hence jsp forward in not feasible.
This solution is very similar to Mukta's method. I am not sure passing session using single signon between two web apps would solve our problems. Because we also need to populate a popup window from our side when the other web app clicks a button in their screen. Is url redirect the only way to invoke a popup window between two struts apps?
