If IE opens a new window (either through javascript or from the file/new/window menu) and IE is in a session, the session is shared between the two browser sessions.
If you open two copies of IE from the operating system, they will not share the session. The only way to solve this that I know of, is to keep a session token, if you find it out of sequence, forward to a page which closes the window (if javascript is enabled). If you use tokens on your update sequences you should be able to live with the two browsers in the same session.

I have two browsers opened with diferent sessions (and logged on with different users to my app) in the same machine. In one browser, I click a button that opens a new window (window.open in javascript) and in this new window a submit is performed to an action of struts. This action has an execute that checks isTokenValid and gives false, not because I haven't saved token first, but because session are different. */ protected boolean isTokenValid(HttpServletRequest request) { // Retrieve the saved transaction token from our session HttpSession session = request.getSession(false); //--> here, session id is different of the main window session, but equals to the other window session. if (session == null) ..... ..... ..... //as session id is wrong, token is invalid. } If I have one only main browser opened this problem doesn't happen. I think that it can be a window.open IE problem, but I still couldn't find out a solution. If anyone has one... Thanks..

I suspect in the absense of url rewriting you will need to use either different machines for each browser, or a different browser (ie open second window in mozilla or something). Hopefully Im wrong on that and someone else on this list has a better idea! -----Original Message----- From: Parag Pattewar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 16 January 2004 19:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Session Problem Hi I tried to use URL rewriting explicetly for session tracking, unfortunately I wont be able to use this because Its not been guaranteed in the code is been written using <html:link> always for the links. As both the browsers sessions are using only the same cookies, so I think the problem is because of that. How do I make sure the session on both the browsers will be different other than URL Rewriting. Thanks Parag -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 4:51 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Session Problem On the same machine? Rather sounds like its the same session. Im not sure about IE6, but as I recall, IE5 will share its cookies between the various windows if cookies are enabled. If cookies are disabled then url writing takes over (asuming youve made sure your links are re-written by using the appropriate tags) which means they shouldlnt share sessions if opened seperately. You could test this theory by disabling cookies in your browser and see if it makes a difference. Put it a log statement somewhere to log the sessionId and compare the results for both the windows to see if it is indeed a different session, or if the second window causes the first window to end up in the second's session. -----Original Message----- From: Parag Pattewar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 16 January 2004 19:17 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Session Problem Hi I am getting session collusion problem , if I open my application on two IE5.5 browsers , after some time , I am getting same values and junk values which are not applicable for that session , but will be applicable for the session present on other browser.
