Hi Fintan, Thanks! Will killSession kills existing session? I like to keep the original session, but start a new session for a new request(for example, click a button). Dave

The request will join the existing session. Is there a way to create a new HTTP servlet session for the request(clicking the button)? public HttpSession getSession(boolean create) Create a new session only when no session already exists even if create=true. What I am trying to do is to Start a brand new session so that the new session will not have the user authentication information from the existing session. Thanks for ideas.
