AW: Can you make Tomcat 5 create multiple JSESSIONID cookies in Firefox?
Just define multiple hosts. Cookies are stored per host; host is the mid-part of the uri. So if you have two virtual servers like: xxx.mydomain.net and zzz.mydomain.net the jsessionid wouldn't be shared. So in your case, if you have control over the dns server, you could define 1000 hosts for your application (all pointing to same ip), and let the root application select one randomly. For example: You define www0001-www Client connects to www.yourapplicationdomain.net Your root application (webapps/ROOT/index.jsp) does something like: (Random rnd is defined staticaly) String myName = www+rnd.nexTInt(1); response.sendRedirect(myname+.yourapplicationdomain.net/your_app_entry_poi nt); // not exact syntax This would be a workaround to your problem, but to be true, i'd rather try to refactor my application to be a bit less stateful, and support multiple browser windows if this is a requirement. regards Leon P.S. Also, what if MSIE will add tabs? Some MSIE extensions already allow to have several tabs. What if a user turned off the Start a new process setting in MSIE? What about Opera? Actually the default MSIE setting is running all windows in same process, so you need to setup IE explicitely to run windows in separate processes. Even you do it, it only applies to windows created by starting new explorer session, but not for ctrl-n created windows. P.P.S. What exactly you store in the session? -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Michael Jouravlev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 21.

I don't think that it is possible to start new Firefox window in separate process. And cookies are bound to the process. This is the implementation detail, but I guess all browser vendors bind cookies to the process. This is not Tomcat issue. Anyway, relying on session ID only is not robust in multi-window environment. Even if Firefox could be started as new process, it would not help if a user simply opened new tab, not a new window. Also, what if MSIE will add tabs?

You might need to create your own key besides session cookie, I guess. Michael. On 4/21/05, Dick Starr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am using Tomcat 5.0.18 and Firefox 1.0.3.

My application stores data in the session context, and fails because each window is sharing the same session variables. I want to allow cookies in the browser, but can't find a way to make my application work with Firefox. I can upgrade Tomcat, if that would solve the problem. Thanks in advance.
