I guess you cannot do this. I don't think that it is possible to start new Firefox window in separate process. And cookies are bound to the process. This is the implementation detail, but I guess all browser vendors bind cookies to the process. This is not Tomcat issue.
Anyway, relying on session ID only is not robust in multi-window environment. Even if Firefox could be started as new process, it would not help if a user simply opened new tab, not a new window. Also, what if MSIE will add tabs? Some MSIE extensions already allow to have several tabs. What if a user turned off the "Start a new process" setting in MSIE? What about Opera? You might need to create your own key besides session cookie, I guess. Michael. On 4/21/05, Dick Starr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am using Tomcat 5.0.18 and Firefox 1.0.3.
