Shared session context

[dkrleza]

Hello!

Well, what we need is shared session context between multiple WEB modules inside single enterprise application. I know that this is not allowed by servlet specification, but...

Few other app.servers support that: BEA, WAS. Well, this feature is very interesting because you don't need to transfer security credentials between WEB modules and create separate session context for every WEB module. It doesn't matter which WEB module creates session context, other modules can read and use it.

I have read somewhere on the Internet that JBoss doesn't support that YET and that the JBoss team has decided to add this feature in version 4...

Any news about this?

Huh, sorry, this is not what I wanted. This wiki shows how to share security context.
You have misunderstood me. What I wanted, is to share session context between WEB modules within same EAR. This means, one WEB module creates HttpSession, all the other WEB modules within EAR can see and use it.

When using WAS, this is called "shared session context". This is very important when WEB modules want to share their global resources.
