Even if you open a new browser with Ctrl+N, the user will have to login the second user, at which point a new session is generated and maintained in the query string of the URL.
This implies the following: 1. every successful login will generate a new session 2. a new login will not invalidate an existing session Conor. -----Original Message----- From: John Regan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 11:49 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: "Split Thread" with 2 browsers thank you Conor for the quick response. this works if the second browser is launched from the desktop but if the second browser is launched using Ctrl+N from the first browser both browsers share the same session. is there any way around this? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: "Split Thread" with 2 browsers You should be able to implement this functionality using URL rewriting where the session identifier is stored on the query string rather than as a cookie in the browser. In this way once the user opens a new window and logs in again you can create a new session in the second browser.

The user should be able to proceed in either browser without session information being overwritten in the other browser's session. Has anyone implemented any similar functionality?
