[OT] Sharing session with manual jsessionid

[Allistair Crossley <Al...@QAS.com>]

Hi,

We are using embedded XML requests within out browser and I would like to share information through 1 session since these XML requests create new requests with their own sessions.

I am obtaining the outer session with session.getId and manually adding jsessionid=<%= session.getId() %> to the XML requests in the hope that the jsessionid will override the presence of cookies in the internal JSP that the XML request hits.

However, it does not, and the internal JSP generates another session id.

I don't think this can be helped can it?

Cheers, Allistair

The jsessionid would have to be a path parameter not a url parameter 
(append prefixed with a semi-colon rather than a question mark).

There was a thread last week called "isRequestedSessionIdFromURL() 
returns false" which discussed what happens when the id is both in the 
url and a cookie: the cookie wins. You'll have to make sure the xml 
requests don't have the cookie header. (It sounds like that is the case 
as a new session is generated.)

HTH,

Jon
