[Webware-discuss] URL Session Passing

[Chris B. <cb...@go...>]

Hello all, 

Our application normally uses the cookie method of identifying the sessions 
to servlets which works great; but we now need to use an embedded Java 
Applet in some circumstances, and it needs to retrieve data based on the 
user's session.  I'm planning to write a special servlet for it to call, 
which will retrieve the data it needs from the database, but this needs to 
be done in the context of the requesting user's existing session. 

So, I'm wondering if the Java applet can pass _SID_ in the URL as an 
argument when it makes its request, while we continue using cookies for the 
general case. Will WebWare only parse this argument as a session id if 
UseAutomaticPathSessions is true? 

Thanks,
Chris Backas
