Guys,

I am using several sub-domains that all point to the same app (they cause different content to be displayed, depending on the sub-domain). For example, I have:

content1.myapp.com
content2.myapp.com
content3.myapp.com
...etc...

I need the session data to be shared across these subdomains, so that when a user is clicking around the app, crossing across sub-domains, they won't lose the session state (e.g., if they're logged in, etc).

I understand that Tomcat uses session cookies to associate server session with the client request. And I understand that the default behavior of this causes these session cookies to be specific to a domain/sub-domain.

My question:

How can I make the session cookies get written so that they are relevant to ALL sub-domains under the main domain. I have read a few things that say that if you set the domain of the cookie to be ".mydomain.com", it will be associated with all sub-domains of that primary domain. But, not sure how to do this since tomcat has some built in way of setting these cookies... I saw something with valves, but need more info.

Any help here, or suggestions for a different approach altogether for sharing session state across sub-domains, would be very much appreciated.

thx,
steve
