BTW, here's a part of the servlet spec that I really dont like the wording of. quote --
SRV.7.7.3 Client Semantics Due to the fact that cookies or SSL certificates are typically controlled by the web browser process and are not associated with any particular window of the browser, requests from all windows of a client application to a servlet container might be part of the same session. For maximum portability, the Developer should always assume that all windows of a client are participating in the same session. -- end quote In one way you have already seen how this is not true in certain situations. And, as Dan pointed out, this is also browser dependent. I would say that you dont make that assumption and to use the encodeXXX anywhere in ur application that opens new windows or links to new pages to avoid any guessing about which session is being used. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Wink [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 11:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Session tracking API Hi, This behaviour is browser dependant: from my experience opening a new InternetExplorer window treats session as discussed (file->new->window == same session, starting from start bar == new session). However, be aware that ALL open Netscape windows on your screen are likely to have the same session id when making requests to your servlet.
