Well, by "maintain the session" I assume you mean can you share the data in
the session between two servers. The answer is no, not directly. Session
data is stored on the server, and there's no automatic way to get it from
one server to another. The server gives the client/browser a cookie to
identify the session; the client gives the cookie back to the server so that
the server knows which session it is, and the server retrieves the data for
that session. If you go to a different server, you not only get a different
cookie but that server has completely independent session data as well. To
share the session data, you'd have to have some sort of communication
between the two servers, using RMI or EJBs, so that they could cooperatively
share their session data as well as the session-id cookies in order to match
everything up.

Subject: Session management question...
If a user accesses a website and creates a session, then follows a link from
my site to a sister site, can I maintain the session from server to server
using JSP? If so, how?
TIA
