domain level session tracking (cookie based)

[Dave <ja...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
 
We are using JBoss 4.0.5GA. The web server can be accessed using a number of subdomains, such as:
 
a.mydomain.com
b.mydomain.com
 
In a same web browser instance, if a user visits a.mydomain.com, then click b.mydomain.com in the page, the new page will be a different session. 
 
For cookie based session tracking, how to configure domain-level ?  
 
that is , a.mydomain.com and b.mydomain.com share the same session id.
 
Thanks for help.
Dave

You may have to do some work for yourself, because Tomcat's built-in
session cookies will not do this kind of thing for you. On the other
hand, you might be able to do something with your own cookies.

The first result (http://www.15seconds.com/issue/971108.htm) is targeted
towards .NET, but the idea is the same: just set the domain for the
cookie appropriately.
