If I start two "sessions" at a hunchentoot page from two different tabs in firefox, the *session* object accessible in the handler is the same for requests from both tabs. I would want to track the sessions separately. In a next step I would introduce user authentication, and hope that only one authentication is necessary to start plural sessions from different tabs. Is there a standard way to achieve these functionalities ? Thank you for your comments. Frank
Cookies are usually per-browser, not per window. You could probably do your own sessions and pass around an ID as a GET parameter, though that would be messy.
Alternatively, you could have a number of different domains; each domain would then get a different session. Rob
When debugging applications that use session to track logins, I just add more than one hostname for localhost in my /etc/hosts file like:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost student manager
so I can do things like:
http://student:8080/ http://manager:8080/
in different tabs, with different sessions.
