Rob,

The way you describe session sharing is indeed a problem.  The way we deal with 
this is to use a separate database table to keep track of window ids.  A unique 
value is assigned when a window is opened and maintained until the window is 
closed.  Although the session may be the same for all open windows (tabs), the 
window id is unique.  Significant values are posted to the window table and 
retrieved based on the window id.

If there is another method using a Tomcat centric approach, I would love to 
hear about it.
