I don't have an example handy, but there are several ways of accomplishing
this.
The most standard approach is to save session information to user tables, or
name/value 'hash' type tables, in a central or clustered database. You can
then track session information in one of a couple fashions:
1. Cookies - save a session to a cookie, map the session to a userID in
the database. Make your ID complex to prevent random guessing of account
numbers.
2. URL rewriting - same basic approach as cookies, but pass the ID via the
querystring instead. MS Site Server uses this approach.
I believe HTTPServletSession uses the cookie approach automatically, but not
being an expert, I'm not 100% certain. Perhaps somebody could answer that
for us... ?

Subject: Does session migration work with Tomcat ??
Hi,
is it possible to use session migration with tomcat ??
Or does anybody has a snippet or an url where I can get some hints ??
What I want is several tomcat servers behind a load balancing hardware that
are session aware.
Is this possible ??
