Hi André, Thanks for the reply. I understand that on changing browsers, a new session would need to be established & that is indeed what I do . On changing browsers , I login again , creating a new session . As can be seen in the logs I pasted on stack overflow : New Session ::: 6003A09956987A2035EB9BB1C5D7C157.SERVER-1 . But as you can see from the logs , the sessions created or destroyed are not shared with the other tomcat by the tomcat to which I send my requests .
