If you look at the Java API for Cocoon, you'll notice that it has its own Session object (org.apache.cocoon.environment.Session), which does not inherit from or otherwise have much to do with javax.servlet.http.HttpSession other than the fact that they have many similar methods. (Actually, I didn't look carefully, but I think the only difference between the two sessions is that Cocoon does not include the deprecated methods from the original Java implementation.)
I don't know if that helps at all...

Kent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 2:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: session and xsl Marty, I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work. Although cocoon is seeing a session, it does not appear to be the same one that Tomcat(?) created when the user logged in. I put a "session.getId()" call into my JSP page and also one in the XML file and both returned different values. Now, I assumed (and I know what that means!) that since Tomcat created the session when the user logged in, and Cocoon runs under Tomcat, that both would be the same. Not the case. Can anyone shed light on how these "sessions" are being defined? From looking at what "process" is serving the file (Tomcat=JSP, Cocoon=XML), it seems a new session ID value is created for each one. Does that sound right? Or, is the session ID related to where these files reside within a folder structure (webapps\myapp vs. webapps\cocoon) and each call to a different "alias" in apache starts a new session? I'm confused. I thought Tomcat was handling them all.
