Bill, let me try to clarify...
The Task Manager application runs in one Application Server. Each appplication that is launched from it will be a web application in another Application Server (another JVM).
The issue is not that I need to share information between the two applications. This is not a requirement, and I know that this is not supported within the
J2EE spec. The issue is that when the user launches a task resolution screen (which is in another app server) in another window, a new session will be created and a new JSESSIONID cookie will be sent back to the client. If the user now goes back to the Task Manager window, and initiates a request (via a POST), the cookie will have the sessionid of the HttpSession in the other JVM. Therefore, the web app will not be able to locate the session and it will be lost.
Hope this helps better explain my situation. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
