sessions and migration

[Peter Warde]

I'm a little confused about sessions and migration.

The spec says that a session can migrate from one JVM to another, but the spec also says that a session cannot migrate from one context to another context within the same container ie when using requestDispatcher to forward to another a servlet in another container.

Is this right and can anybody bring any further clarity to it.

Thanks

Hi Peter,
I believe the first thing points to distributed application, in which case the session CAN migrate between different JVMs.

The 2nd argument, points to 2 different web applications, in which case the session CANNOT migrate.
