Servlet Session + have not Clue....HELP....PLEASE...

[sam patel]

Hi,
THis is what i had created, a servlet project using Jbuilder 7 and TomCat 4.0 that get Images from DB and displays it on the
Browser depending on what documentType the user selected....
If i run the Tom-cat on my machine and then run my project, It runs fine...
If i goto another machine and run my project, i get Two different frames one from my machine that has Tom-Cat running
and another one from the new new machine....
I need to Create a session for each user....
The problem is I am not familiar with Sessions.. I searched on Internet for examples but i got more confused.
I would appreciate if you can point me on right direction.....

I am posting my Code....
