Our app running on Tomcat 5.0.28 has some kind of kluge involving a
flown-in vhosts.xml file in .../conf that uses aliases such that people
can have separate sessions of the same app on separate tabs. I have no
idea if this is how this should have been done back in the olden days
but more importantly I'd like to understand the "industrially correct"
way to obtain this behavior under 6.0.* Tomcat...if it's not already the
default.

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.

IE 6 is even more confusing. If you open a new window with ctrl-N you have the
same session sharing as with tabs. Only if you click the IE6-icon to start a
new instance of the process it will not share them. Opening a new tab in IE7 is
like using ctrl-n to open a new window in IE6.

Hi Chris,
Is there any way to dynamically create these contexts or do they require a
live.xml, test.xml, etc within conf/Catalina/localhost. The multiple contexts
would be my preferred approach although I would like to achieve this with a
single code base if this is possible. The multiple environments are driven
purely by the backend database connection, i.e. the code is the same with the
only difference being where the data is being saved to. Hence the requirement
to stop the browser sharing the same session when in different database
connections. I'm surprised that other people are not having the same issues
since the browser manufacturers decided to make this crazy change to session
management between tabs/instances and suddenly share the same session. In I.E.6
two browser instances would be two separate sessions. I.E.7 they are the same
session! Thanks for your input.
Kind Regards,
Rob.

You can run your test environment on another hostname.
live.example.com
test.example.com
train.example.com
Or under another context:
http://www.example.com/live
http://www.example.com/test
http://www.example.com/train
The real question is why there's any confusion: your hostnames and/or
URLs ought to be unique enough already. Otherwise, this sort of
foolishness can affect your "real" users and you'll leak data all over
the place.
