Kent, I guess I really haven't thought it through, but my original purpose was to group a visit using the session id as opposed to an ip which could potentially be the same for two visitors. You mentioned where I set the session id, but I don't do it, SqlSessionStore does it for me, but I'm curious has to how that works. Do you know when the session would be set?
