open a window in a new session
I am using servlet. How to open a window in a new session?
I tried javascript
onclick="window.open(...)"
but the opened window belongs to the same servlet session (see from user login name).
Thanks for help!

IIRC, Tomcat uses cookies if they are available. You can turn then off
entirely:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
Look under the "common attributes" section for instructions.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply.
How to configure server(Tomcat, I am using JBoss) to use URL-encoded session id tracking? I did not do anything. Is cookie used for session tracking by default?
Thanks!

If you are using cookie-based session id tracking, you might not be able
to do this at all.
If you switch to URL-encoded session id tracking, you can simply leave
the session id out of the popup's URL and your popup will not inherit
the current session from the old one.

By default, I believe that Tomcat creates browser-session cookies, which
are only used until the browser is closed (i.e. they are only stored in
memory, or at least, you can think about it that way).
When you open up a new browser from "the desktop", you might be starting
a new process which is separate from the existing one. I don't believe
that you can convince a browser to open up a new copy of itself in a
separate process, so this observation isn't really going to help you, here.

If I open an IE from windows desktop, and then access the link, it will start a new session. Is there any control on cookie, like do not use cookie for this new window?
Thanks!
