RE: [BULK] Using tabbed browsers causes session sharing

Hi,
	A session boils down to a cookie sent between the browser and the server.  So the only way you could create 2 sessions is if the IE browser would keep cookies independent on each tab.  I don't know of any browser that associates cookies with anything but the site.  I.e. when you login on tab 2, your browser sends the existing cookie that is associated with the tomcat site, and it auto logs in to A's profile.
	You could think about changing mozilla's source code to create a browser that allows it, but how would you change the profile for each tab?  Would tab 3 remember that you logged into google mail already?  Or would you have to log in again?

Importance: Low

Hello All
While using tabbed browsers (e.g. IE 7) I am facing a login problem. Say on Tab#1 I login with a username A, on Tab#2 I login with username B, I still see A's session. Apparently the browser/Tomcat doesn't create a new session. Has anyone faced this problem? Are there any fixes?
Thanks
Murthy
