Subject: How to share tomcat sessions across multiple IE windows
Folks
I restarted this thread because I inadvertently hijacked another.
Peter Crowther said:
"You can't. This is a client-side problem. As your first link says:
Use a key in the querystring, tied to a cookie or a form, if session
state across windows is a necessity."
Can you expand on how this works please? If I pass the session ID from the
calling window to the spawned window, what do I do with it? Look up the
session cookie with JavaScript? Then what?
Ideally I want the child window to share the same session.
Sorry if I am being a bit thick here....
Hi there... There may be better ways of doing this, I just looked back and
had a look at a progress meter I made a while ago...
Right or Wrong this is what I did....
I created a STATIC class that I called GlobalSessionStore...
This then can be uses across servlets JSP pages etc etc.
When the request comes in for the BASE page... I generate a unique number
and place it in a hidden form field....
and add Session to GlobalSessionStore
When the user clicks on START script button it runs script something like
this...
========================
function doProgress()
{
//The Hidden field
guid = document.getElementById("guid_id").value;
//Add it to the URL
sprogUrl = "/estate/listingEntry?cmd1=10001&UniqueID=" + guid;
window.open(sprogUrl,null,"toolbar=0, location=0,status=0, menubar=0,
scrollbars=0, resizable=1, width=400, height=300");
}
==========================
So when that window opens... can now get guid with.....
request.getParameter("UniqueID");
Call the global static class.... can get at stored global Session.... done!
Anyway thats how I connected progress meters to the thing they have to
monitor...
In your case if you (below) putItem(GUID, Session);
Should be able to get back anything in that original session....
Good Luck....
============================
public class globalSessionStore {
private static HashMap sessionStore = new HashMap();
/** Creates a new instance of globalSessionStore */
public globalSessionStore() {
}
public static synchronized Object getItem(String sKey) {
return (Object)sessionStore.get(sKey);
}
public static synchronized void putItem(String sKey, Object item) {
sessionStore.put(sKey,item);
}
public static synchronized void removeItem(String sKey) {
sessionStore.remove(sKey);
}
}
