How can I maintain sessions between IIS and Tomcat?

[Luca Ventura <ve...@tiscali.it>]

Hello everybody!

I have installed Tomcat as plug-in of Internet Information Server (IIS) to
support JSP/Servlet, using the ISAPI filter.
So I can support ASP pages thanks to IIS and Servlets/JSP-pages thanks to
Tomcat.
All works well if I don't use sessions. In fact if I create an user-session
(object) in a JSP page or in a servlet, and then I insert information in it
(using setAttribute() method of HttpSession class) ,
the session object just created is not visible in an ASP page. The same
thing happens if I create
the session in an ASP page: the session will not visible in a JSP page. It
seems that IIS
and Tomcat can't exchange session information between them...why?

How can I solve this problem? Must I configure the ISAPI filter in some way?
If yes..how?

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance!

                                     Luca

Hi Luca,

ASP and JSP (IIS, Tomcat) are too separate server side
languages and runtimes, hence there is no way to have
them talk to each other via a Session Object since
they each store sessions in a different manner.

You may pass variables back and forth between them via
a normal HTML manner but thats about it. Or you may
choose to write to disk.
