You are going to have problems with this, not the least of which is that it violates the servlet spec :-). Each web application has its own unique set of sessions, so a cross-context request that uses sessions will create a session instance in each webapp. Even if this were not prohibited by spec, you'll have technical problems as well ... the class loader hierarchies for the two webapps are independent of each other. Thus, if the object you use to represent user credentials were defined in web app A, trying to reference such an instance in web app B would get a class not found exception. Craig
