Hi Chris,
Is there any way to dynamically create these contexts or do they require a
live.xml, test.xml, etc within conf/Catalina/localhost. The multiple contexts
would be my preferred approach although I would like to achieve this with a
single code base if this is possible. The multiple

Rob,
IE 6 is even more confusing. If you open a new window with ctrl-N you have the
same session sharing as with tabs. Only if you click the IE6-icon to start a
new instance of the process it will not share them. Opening a new tab in IE7 is
like using ctrl-n to open a new window in IE6.
Hi Ronald,
Yes I was aware of that behaviour... Just for reference Firefox and
Google Chrome also share session logic so I am surprised this hasn't
been a problem for a lot more people. I am happy that my work around
solves the session sharing problem but would still prefer to go down the
dynamic
Rob,
The way you describe session sharing is indeed a problem. The way we deal with
this is to use a separate database table to keep track of window ids. A unique
value is assigned when a window is opened and maintained until the window is
closed. Although the session may be the same for
Hi Stephen,
The approach we use was described in my original post. If you need more
information then I can explain further if it helps. Note, our approach
does require a bespoke tomcat request class (to change the session
cookie path) and this has not been without teething problems. Are you

Our app running on Tomcat 5.0.28 has some kind of kluge involving a
flown-in vhosts.xml file in .../conf that uses aliases such that people
can have separate sessions of the same app on separate tabs. I have no
idea if this is how this should have been done back in the olden days
but more

I agree, this is a very scary app to support.
At a minimum, multiple contexts, each with its own database resource
definition would avoid a lot

Hi Chris,
In Internet Explorer 5.5,6.0 if you opened up two separate browser instances
they would have two 'un-connected' sessions. As stated by Ronald they would
share the session if the 2nd was opened using ctrl-n but otherwise the sessions
would be unique. Cookies may have always worked as

Basically we are stuck with some legacy application parts that while

not internet facing if that makes a difference.
