Hi Nikolaos,
If you cannot use user-names and password, i think th best way would be
to pass a cookie with some unique charecteristic of the session. Then in
your servlet code, you can check if the cookie has been writen or not and
determine if it is in the same session. You will have to remember to delete
the cookie once the session is over.
Or, simply check on getSession(true).isNew(). It would return a boolean
value indicating the session status.
As for point -2, there would not be any need to invalidate the old
session if a new session is created as a new session itself would not be
created if there is any session already existing.(whew!)
Hope this helps...
Raaj.
