After reading the other replies, I take the "you" for me for this reply ;-) The reason I wanted to manipulate one HttpSession from another is since in this case, I have an external entity (and thus in another HttpSession) making a POST request to my servlet, posting information about a transaction made in another user-HttpSession. Manipulating the user-HttpSession from the external request would have been a way to feed the information from the external entity to the user-session which is concerned. Although I cannot consider this behaviour really beautiful, it's also not that ugly... Or do you (now "you" as "one") disagree or know a nicer way? :-) > - -chris > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ > > iEYEARECAAYFAkpbaBsACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PC+RgCfUEoAJwWB+/4jgDCzJgK/4eDb > YhsAnA8DXWpTkOQdg7vMursGAg5dWfPx > =g3Tk > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
