[gatein-dev] GateIn and cross context sessions

An issue was brought up lately with cross context sessions not working properly (https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNWCI-15, note that its not really a wci issue and should probably be moved to the gatein pc integration component) We have a test^1 in the pc (portlet container) component for cross context session sharing. For this test to pass we need to make a change in the JBoss server configuration files^2. But we don't need to make any changes for Tomcat. On GateIn its a bit of a different situation. If we make the configuration change for JBoss^2, then the example in GTNWCI-15 works. But it doesn't work for Tomcat. Looking into gtn a bit more, the session in GateIn is coming from the server (with context path /portal) and not from the context path of the portlet. In the pc test the session context path is the same as the portlet. I can get this to work on Tomcat if I make a change to the http connector to use emptySessionPath="true"^3. Do we actually need to make there configuration changes, or I am missing something and we need to change how the portal and portlet container are integrated. Thanks 1) http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/gatein/components/pc/trunk/test/src/test/j... 2)we need to add <SessionCookie path="/"/> in the server context.xml, this is being done in the pc tests and should have been setup in gatein at the beginning, but I don't see in gatein anymore. We should add this option. 3)http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html as mention here that its useful for portlet specification implementations, but I don't know if we actually need it or not.
