sessions with IE6 - browsers opened from within a single browser
Hi All,
I noticed a weird behaviour with IE6 and sessions. I am working on a demo,
which is supposed to be started from a page by a button click. This causes
three new browsers to open, each one connecting to a different tomcat 4.0.1
instance and a session-enabled webapp inside. It seems that there are some
interdependencies, and I was able to get only one session to work at a time.
However, if I open three browsers from the Start menu and point them to the
three webapps, sessions work fine.
Anyone knows more about this?
thx
Alex

Browsers opened from an opened browser window using something like ctrl+n
or window.open() will open within the same memory space. Browser opened by
clicking on the icon are opened up in a new memory space. However, I have
also seen some weirdness with session sharing in, supposedly, separate
memory space, so your mileage may vary.
In any case, you should be ok if your instances of tomcat are in totally
separate domains since the cookies should not be shared across domains. If
this is not the case, then you are definitely going to have problems.
