Thanks. The problem was my approach of initializing Backing-Beans in an access controller Servlet and providing them to JSF by using the ServletContext. Bosch described this approach in his JSF book, but didn't mention that the Backing-Beans will then be shared by different sessions... No I changed this and use the standard constructors of the Backing-Beans, which will be called by JSF. Does someone of you know another approach for providing Backing-Beans to JSF from outside of a JSF request (non-faces request generates faces response)? -Matthias > As soon as you enable cookies, the session will be round - it will > stick, until the cookie is cleared again. > > regards, > > Martin > > On 3/23/06, Matthias Kahlau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > How did you open a new browser?
