I opened a new browser window by executing the ieexplorer.exe, but was in the same session. Is this normal or a local problem only? If I use Opera and copy a URL of my app (without session ID) to IE, the same tab of the panelTabbedPane as in Opare is shown in IE, and not the default tab. But this time, no data is shown in IE at first. But when I invoke an action in IE, I can load some data, too. It seems like there's some inter-browser session or state sharing... If I close all browsers and start a new IE instance with deleted cookies, and enter an absolute URL to a page of my web app (wihout session ID), the page is shown with data, although it should not be possible, because the data had not been loaded before. It seems that the data comes from a previous session (I only use session-scoped Backing-Beans). > -Andrew > > On 3/23/06, Matthias Kahlau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi! > > > > Do you know how JSF associates a session to a specific client?
