I've found need to do this myself before. It ended up being a big mess. Fortunately for me I only had a few pieces of data that needed sharing back and forth, so I simply used Cookies to save myself a ton of time. However, it is not a graceful solution, and as eric has stated, it is a shortcoming...

You'll be forced to do something kludgy and authenticate to both systems and maintain two sessions. I would love to see a thread started about this because it is a big shortcoming I come up against frequently in Java. That is, different wars and contexts are a great way to separate and manage different large scale projects, but when it comes time to piece it back together as part of a large possibly modular application, yr fcked. Siteminder (a proprietary product) is a way to get around this and is Java friendly, but don't know how it works.
