Re: [jetty-discuss] Re: Multiple webapps on one host / Reusing session ids

[jian c. <che...@gm...>]

Hi,=20

Just glanced through the related emails. Though this might be helpful below=
.

What we are doing is, the same HttpSession object is used by multiple
web apps all running on the same host and port.

We use part of the URL to map the applications.

For example, to create a new session,

1) for http://localhost:8080/app1, we have=20
session.setAttribute("app1", new CustomSessionClass1());

2) for http://localhost:8080/app2, we have
session.setAttribute("app2", new CustomSessionClass2());

So, when a request comes in, you can retrieve the CustomSessionClass
object according to different application from the HttpSession object.

This way, no matter how many browser session opens, they all run differentl=
y.

Bottom line is, HttpSession is used as a hashtable for storing the
actual custom session objects rather than storing the session data
themselves.

Does this make sense to your problem?

Cheers,

Jian
