Thanks for your answer. I think I understnd now, and it works very
nicely. I have two additional questions - is that same session ID
available to 'included' servlets ? Do you think it would be appropriate
(or are there plans) to include into the code a mechanism that would
verify the presence of a valid session ID (perhaps add a temnporary
session password for good measure)? This might be a good access-control
mechanism.
