Re: Sharing session state on IIS...

[Scott Jones <sc...@izio.com>]

I'd use a cookie on this problem (unless your session is storing sensitive
information).  You could always encrypt it to some degree too...

Also, you could write your information to disk or to a database, and then
read it into your Java application.

Or do you only get to control the Java code?

unfortunately, you cannot access ASP session information from other scripting
languages. The cookie sent with an ASP session does only contain a session ID
but no data (this is stored in memory) ...

It's not that I only get to control the java code, it's that we're trying to
get rid of the
asp's, and don't want to spend the time to hack them to get them to work
only to redo them
later again...  Actually, further discussion at work may make the question
moot, but I'd still
like to know...

Thanks!
Carey
