JNDI / WebApp / WebStart / HttpSession

[ch...@rsag.ch]

Hi list,

I got the job to make a web application accesible throught webstart.

this is not the big thing actually. The only problem s like this.

The web application is accessed through a login applet in browser, ba now.
After a succesfull login the browser session id is used to monitor the
user. It was done this way because the web application is running in
several systems. Now I made a web start which starts the login applet. So
far so good. The login is calling the servlet and this is doing what it
should. Then starts the problem. After a successfull login the applet is
calling a jsp which then uses some beans and also requesting the browsers
session id which is now not available.

I am pretty new to JNDI and web start. I also did some research already.
But I did not figure out it. How I could solve this problem without
recoding all jsp and applets. This I would like to avoid if possible.

The main reason to make this change is that the web application has some
jar files which are almost 1MB and take quite a while to download.

If I understood it right with WebStart the web application is downloaded
and each time if the user is using it already on the local machine. This
would solve the download time.

Is it possible to start a html page instead an applet with WebStart?

Any help is appreaciated.

Regards,

Christian Schuster
