hi Stephanie, we had the same problem in the project http://www.saturn.at.
i'm sorry, but it's not cocoon (so - a little bit off topic), anyway ... it's a java/servletcontainer project and perhaps this solution works for you. we decided not to block the 'open in new window' but to enable another session. to do so, we have a frameset, which contains a 'content'-frame and - this is important - we do not use the cookieencoded sessiontoken, but the URLencoded one. when a visitor uses 'open in new window', the 'content'-frame checks for the frameset. if the frameset is not available, the browser is redirected to load the frameset and the specific 'content'-frame. loading the frameset causes a creation of a new session (via a 'createSessionServlet') and a replace-statemet, which changes the sessiontoken-value in the URL (this bounds the request to the new session). the new 'content'-frame request checks (serverside) for a new session. if necessary, the data in the session are recomputed with URL-parameters. just a suggestion. richard -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Stephanie Zohner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 30.

My Probelm is the folowing: I must prevent the user from opening a new browser window after entering my application. The reason is that if he does so the two windows refer to the same session, in other words they share the session and all its content and this causes a lot of problems. What's the best way to handle this problem? I thought about the request haeder attribute "referer", but this is not applicable. They are identical in both instances of the browser. I would prefer a server side solution rather than a client side (javascript) solution.
