One way you can maintain the session is to create a java bean, and make it's
scope the session.
Then depending on your hardware, you should be able to maintain a 1.1
connection and retain session information.

Subject: Sessions and absolute URLs
Hi,
I've just recently joined the list so forgive me if this
topic has been discussed before.
I've been having the following experiences with sessions:
Links with absolute URLs do not retain the same session
(even if they refer to the same webapp). Relative URLs are
fine.
So if I have a link to a secure page from a non-secure page, then
I lose the session, beause I have to specify "https:" in the
link.
But this only happens on certain browsers. For example,
Internet Explorer 5 on Windows NT 4 works fine, but
Netscape 4.7 on Windows NT 4 does not.
Can this problem be solved through URL rewriting
(by wrapping the link in encodeURL()"?
Thanks,
Puna
