Always a big question... search the web and you find many different approaches

Here is an article how to do it using servlet contexts...
http://www.fwd.at/tomcat/sharing-session-data-howto.html

But maybe clustering is what you looking for
Have a look at tomcat clustering and session replication.

Other popular approach is Apache JK_mod clustering and sticky sessions.... my favorite

And then maybe what you really looking for is an application server...
Spring framework or something like Jboss.... something that lets you share a bean.
Granted... they huge fat frameworks if thats all you want to do..

I think you need to qualify the question a little...
Are you just trying to share a session in a cluster... ie identicle webapps -> Clustering

Or are you trying to share a bean across different webapps -> App server

Or are you trying to share a shared status across different webapps -> App server singleton

Servlet contexts... can kinda do all of the above... but its kludgy... think it can get very messy.

Good luck

Subject: sharing same session across multiple webapp


Hi,

we'd like to make modular web development, not with merging in 1 deployable webapp separate web sources, but with making run 2 webapps sharing the same user's session.

We all know JEE standard does not specify such thing for the moment, but servers start to enable it a proprietary way (see weblogic 9 for instance)

Is there a way in Tomcat to share the same user's session across multiple webapps, for this purpose of modular development ?

Thank to any suggestion,

Dominique.
