I have 2 applications deployed in JBoss.
Will session created in 1 web application (1.war) available in another web application(2.war).
I have tried and found this to be not working. Can anyone show me the way out so that session can be shared between different web applications.
Rgds,

Best wishes,

Hi Sam. According to the Servlet specification, the HttpSession is scoped to the ServletContext(application) and is not available to other contexts. If you need to do this, consider using a database or other persitence mechanism to store info between sessions.

The Servlet Specification is broken in this regard. Sharing sessions across contexts makes perfect sense, and should be allowed. Anybody game for attempting to get this changed through the JCP?
