As far I've been able to figure out, http sessions are per-instances linked. So, an instance is only allowd to have their owned sessions, isn't it?
- Greg-DBI'm not familiar enough with Java's HttpSession, and this may also depend on your particular setup, so I'm afraid I can't offer much insight on that side of things.
