How do i determine if a given session ID is currently a valid one?

 I want to allow reporting access from a JSP app to a server running an
 ASP-based reporting application.  I'd like to pass the session ID as a
 parameter to the ASP document, which would "call back" to the JSP container
 to validate the session ID.

 How do I validate a session Id?  I'd like a JSP that works something like
this:

 <%
 if (someObject.IsSessionIdAValidOne (request.getParameter("sessionId")) {
 %>
 YES
 <%
 } else {
 %>
 NO
 <% } %>

Am I out of luck?  How else can I handle this?

Well you might be able to kludge it by this:
ASP calls back to:
http://more/cowbell.jsp;jsessionid=MY_ID_HERE

then in your JSP use method call request.isRequestedSessionIdValid().

In that case - the jsp can then you session variables for that sessionid.
