first, if you are new to servlets and webapps, you should probably hire a consultant in your area to help you out a little, and there are many in germany.
second, you don't need own session handling, what you do need is a context for each window in your session, so the data for the window is set in the context. This implies that you have somehow to identify in which context a window is. The standard way of doing it with cookie, doesn't work for you (either way you'd had no problems with sessions), so the easiest way is to append a context id to each relevant link in the window. This can be done manually, if the link count is low, or via a own HttpServletRequest wrapper with encoding methods, or (but really ugly) by a filter which rewrites the response afterwards. I would highly recommend you to add the context id manually to each link in the window; its maybe more work at the beginning and not fancy, but it will work and be fault tolerant. So once you did that, you have a map with contextId-contextdata relationship in the session, retrieve the proper contextdata from the session in a filter and add it as request attribute, work with it in servlets/actions whatever and use the proper context id in the links. You could also make the context object ThreadLocal, and spare HttpServletRequest passing through methods. Pretty simple actually. regards Leon On 9/12/07, Preuss, Jacqueline - ENCOWAY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, I'm new here! > > > > Generally, I'm new in the topic servlets etc. so I hope I can explain my > problem well. > > > > In our company we work with some web applications running in Internet > Explorer.
