share session between multiple web apps?

[nlmarco]

Hello!

Our application contains many modules. Each module is deployed as ear containing some bean jars, rars and wars:

{jboss-deploy}/NightLabs/project1.ear/project1a.war
{jboss-deploy}/NightLabs/project1.ear/project1b.war
{jboss-deploy}/NightLabs/project2.ear/project2.war
{jboss-deploy}/NightLabs/project2.ear/project2.rar
{jboss-deploy}/NightLabs/project3.ear/project3.war
...

Unfortunately, it seems, every war has an own session. This is bad, because they should share the same login and some other data.

I've googled a lot and found some documents that mentioned, sharing of sessions between different web apps would be possible with jboss, but none of them told how.

BTW, I'm using jboss 3.2.3.

I've tried already sending the JSESSIONID cookie with the common path manually, but this didn't help. It seems to me, the session objects are managed within jboss/tomcat on a per-war-base...

Please HELP!

Best regards, Marco ;-)

...if it is not possible to share a session between multiple webapps. Is it possible somehow to replace the used session class by an own inheritent of HttpSession? If so, how???

Yeah that sucks. After days of trying to get Tomcat to do "remember me"...and keeping it across a number of wars, I ended up implementing my own session plus cookie token...
...if there's a better way, I'd love to hear it.

Will do Single Sign On across Web Apps.

But each webapp (war) has its own session.
