[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Question about HTTP sessions and Seam Session Context

Hi, Reading a book about Seam Apress.Beginning.JBoss.Seam.Feb.2007 in the section about conversations I've come across the following paragraph: anonymous wrote : So what happens if you want to price out another flight? Well, you could create a | complex session management tool to keep a map of the session value tied to some ID for | each of the new sessions. However, most sites do not work that way, because, wow, that?s | complex. Instead, they usually rely on the user to open a new browser window (which in | turn triggers a new session to be created) and price out that flight. At that point, you can | price out your flights. However, it is impossible for those two session objects to know | anything about each other. Well, there are ways to be aware of the other sessions, but the | methods that allowed that have been deprecated for quite some time. There are | advanced tricks you could do, but nothing you want to try in reality. At any rate, what if | you wanted those two ?sessions? to be aware of each other? What if there was shared data | between them that you did not want to repeat? Well, you could not do it. However, this is | the problem that Conversation contexts attempt to overcome. As far as I can tell opening a new tab or window does not initiates a new HTTP session, simply because browser will send back all the cookies that was stored while working in the previous window/tab. Now the question is, can we or can we not have multiple HTTP sessions within one browser application? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4087016#...
