Sharing Session data between Contexts - HOWTO

[Johannes Fiala <to...@fwd.at>]

Hi there,

I've just set up a HOWTO describing how to share session data 
(=session-based Java objects) between Contexts 

http://www.fwd.at/tomcat/sharing-session-data-howto.html

I described how to share the Sessionid between two different Contexts and 
how to store and retrieve the shared session data from the central 
Context. Removing the session data by implementing the HttpSessionListener 
interface brushes things up.

I missed out the part about persisting shared session data using XML or 
JDBC with serialization/deserialization techniques as used with Apache 
Axis for XML or JDO for JDBC databases. If anybody wants to share his code 
or has different ideas: welcome!

Suggestions are welcome as well,
Johannes
