Same SessionId for two logins!

[M K Rayapudi]

Hi friends,
In my web application,
If I login from different machines on the LAN, I am getting different Session Id's.
But, if I login from two different windows of on One machine, I am getting same session Id.
Is there a way to get different Session Id's, even if we login from the same machine (two instances of Browser) ?
Please Help.

If you access your web application from a browser that supports tabs the tabs will share the same session id because the browser instance is the same. If you open a new instance of IE from an existing instance (i.e. by hitting CTRL+N) the behaviour is the same. If you open two instances of a browser from the start menu you will get two distinct session ids.

I suppose you need to ask yourself "does it matter"?

thank you for your response,

of course,
but, this is my assignment.

Ok, so I'd ask whoever gave you the assignment what problem they are asking you to find a solution to. One person using one PC may have many browsers windows open, why do they require them to have a different login for each one displaying your application?

You could look at Seam to see how it supports multiple conversations under the same session.

If you (all) don't think as I am annoying you,
I found "Optional extension of identifier field used to differentiate concurrent uses of the same session identifier". at this link.
But, I am unable to find any solution by going through the J2EE API.
If there is any possible solution, please help.
