That's close. In my reply to the invoking J2EE app I need to send back the
session ID I was sent from it, more as a security measure I believe than to
maintain a user's original session, although that's probably a byproduct of the
protocol.
To take it up another level, what ultimately I'm trying to do is drive a
Facebook application (the otherJ2EEApplication in my example) using webobjects.
Keep in mind also that I've just started, so I haven't fully investigated the
protocol. Perhaps there is a way to configure facebook to send the sessionID
in some other fashion, I'll have to do some more reading tonight. I was just
hoping perhaps there was an easy way to get the sessionID sent from the app
using the webobjects. I have a working j2ee facebook "hello world" program
now, I was hoping to use webobjects in the same way without having to change
anything on the facebook side.
And I do plan on printing out all the form variables I'm receiving currently, I
just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Thanks,
Jeff
