WebClient and multiple chat client

[northshorefiend <sp...@JamesAshepherd.com>]

As many before me, I'm sure, I tried the activemq-web-demo chat client and
found that you only get one working chat client per HttpSession.

I'm new to ActiveMQ, but has anyone tried something like optionally having
amq(.js) instances having a UID on birth and passing that to
MessageListenerServlet, which uses a corresponding instance of WebClient
stored in the HttpSession.

Seems to me this would enable the MesssageListenerServlet to know which amq
instance it was replying to, and each WebClient would acting on behalf of a
single amq instance.

I assume this behaviour may not be wanted by most users, but apart from
that, am I missing any asynchronous consequences?

If this is sensible I might try putting together a patch.

There's a risk that the client could spoof zillions of UIDs though; so
you might want to restrict the number of UIDs on the broker side (&
reject fake ones). But sure, a patch sounds great :)
