Maintaining session among Web Applications

Hi!
I would like to know if there is a good solution for this purpose: maintain the session in three, four or more web applications.
We know that if a user navigates through the pages that belong to only one of the web apps, the session can possibly expire in other web apps. What would be a good strategy to eliminate this problem?
I was thinking about a solution in which for each request the user does, or in other words, for each submit the user executes, I would call other servlets located in the other Web apps, and such servlets would have only this objective, that is maintaining the session, but I�m not sure whether it is really the best way.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

SSO will be a good options, using some available products, e.g, Sun Access Manager, or you can go for Webservices, with token management.

  • Sessions across Web Applications (WARs)

    I've heard that you can't share session information (http session) across web applications or war files in the j2ee framework. However, I haven't seen any proof of this? I'm struggling to find information telling that I can't do this. Can someone elaborate a bit?
    Thanks.

    Hi !
    It is TOTALLY WRONG that someone wrote here that a
    separate JVM is started for each web-app! No way. Run
    any appserver and do a 'ps -ef|grep java' and I bet
    you will see only one forever :-). Correct
    Steve, it is the classloader hierarchy in all
    appservers that prevents you from sharing sessions (i
    would say classes loaded by various web-apps). There
    is something called a web-app / WAR classloader, which
    is 4th in the hierarchy of JVm classloader hierarchy.
    Since all your web-app loaded classes are loaded by
    this classloader and since each web-app has a "peer"
    classloader at same level for its own web-app, you
    will never be able to share across web-apps. Incorrect, just because you can have separate classloaders for separate web applications does not mean that those web applications cannot share instances.
    It is also possible to have classes which are globally available to ALL web applications which are loaded as part of the servlet container. Tomcat versions 4+ have a common area where classes can be made available. These classes are not loaded within the Web Application classloader at all.
    Not only that but it is possible to configure web application contexts such that they can also share things like sessions. This feature is definitely part of the Apache Tomcat release and as this is taken by Sun to be the Reference Implementation of the Servlet Container I would assume that is also part of the J2EE Standard as well.
    YOu can always use the DB stuff that other genltmen
    has already suggested.

  • Can't record web session in Web Application Transaction Monitoring using IE10 (Tried under Windows Server 2008R2 and 2012)

    Hi,
    In Operations Manager Console 2012 SP1 including RU2 I am trying to record a web session in Web Application Transaction Monitoring.
    I have check that:
    The add-on (Microsoft Web Recorder Helper) 64bit is Enabled.
    The 64bit version of IE10 is running/launched. See this link for how to modify your registry key if needed:  http://kevingreeneitblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/scom-2012-recording-web-browser-session.html
    I have tried both on a Windows 2008R2 and 2012 server, but the recorder is not showing up as can been seen from Kevin's Blog (link above).
    Any Ideas?

    I managed to get this working on both Windows 8 IE10 and server 2012 IE10. Tested on SCOM 2012 SP1 UR2 and UR3. I've done this process in lab and production several times so hopefully this helps you out.
    Checklist:
    1. Ensure that the 64bit IE10 is launching when the "start web-capture" is started in SCOM.
    2. Enable IE10 internet options:
    a: Advanced - Security - Enable Enhanced Protected Mode
    b: Advanced - Browsing - Enable third-party browser extensions
    3. Close all running IE sessions and open the Registry Editor
    4. Registry Change (No reboot needed)
    - Browse to the following regkey:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
    - Add a new DWORD called TabProcGrowth and set it to 0
    5. Registry Change (No reboot needed)
    - Browse to the following regkey:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component Categories64\
    -You should see two subkeys labeled: (These are the cached BHO IE objects related to the Web Recorder)
    {00021493-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
    {00021494-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
    - Delete only the above two mentioned keys (This will force IE to recache them next launch)
    6. Try to start the web capture again from SCOM 2012 SP1.
    7. When IE10 Launches enable the add-on again if you are prompted.
    8. If you still don't see the Web-Recorder pane in IE you can now show it by:
     - View - Explorer bars - Web Recorder

  • How do i use the jsp session in web application

    pls i do i go about trying to maintain a user in a web application when he sign in so that his state would be mainain through out the other pages and also adding sound to my pge the page is being design with jsp thank u frm hamzah

    I see what you are saying.
    The JNDI approach should work-we will try to reproduce this internally.
    I would recommend leveraging the OSGi service registry, instead of using JNDI, however. The Event Server is a modular server based on OSGi, so one should use the OSGi service registry whenever possible instead of using the jndi registry. Jndi is primarily there to support legacy code that requires Jndi.
    Any data sources that you configure are automatically registered in the OSGi service registry. When there is more than one data source they can be distinguished using their name.
    There are a couple of options.
    If you want to inject a reference to your datasource into a Spring bean, you can use an annotation, @Service, to annotate a setter method on your bean (see my previous post). The container will then inject a reference to the data source into the bean.
    You can also put the following in your spring application context file
    <osgi:reference id="myDataSource"
    interface="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
    This creates a bean proxy that references the datasource by looking up the datasource in the OSGi service registry. It works similarly to JndiObjectFactoryBean, but it uses the OSGi service registry instead of the JNDI registry. You can read more about it here
    http://www.springframework.org/osgi/specification
    (Look in section 3.3)
    Hope that helps.

  • Unique Session en web application??  How?

    How can i to force in my web application that my clients can only loggon one time at same time?, local vars in the application? if the client shutdown de PC?, i use OID for authentication, any way?
    Any data, url?
    Thanks

    You basically have to keep track of who is logged in yourself. Use an HttpSessionBindingListener to make sure you are notified when a session expires, so you can let the user back in.

  • Preserve session across web applications.

    I've deployed 2 different web applications, each part of their own .ear . Is
    there any way to make the two web applications use the SAME session object
    ? My problem is that when I store an object in the session within one
    application, the object isn't available in the session-context for the other
    application.
    I've also verified that they are actually using two different sessions by

    Linus,
    We were faced with a similar situation but our team responsible for the
    Web applications decided to go with a single web-app in the end and we
    bear the cost of not very nice build.
    An alternative solution for you will be instead of setting the
    authentication in the session to set the user object in a cookie and
    then use it for all web applications.
    I believe that is the idea behind the Weblogic Identity Assertion
    security providers
    (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/dvspisec/ia.html#1145598) but we've
    never had to deal with it yet.

    Thank you for your answer, a few follow-up questions.
    As you point out I definitely don't want to implement something that is
    outside the spec. and vendor specific. But how then would you suggest
    solving the following situation:
    At the moment we are co-operating with other actors within a larger project.
    Our task is to design and code one of the modules, which consists of EJBs,
    JSPs and Servlets. From the beginning this was successfully deployed and
    packaged in a single EAR.
    Problems arose when we started to integrate our EAR with a WAR written by
    one of the other participants in the project. The problem was that they are
    responsible for authentication for the whole site, i.e. the login-module.
    The've implemented the login so that when a user successfully logs in, a
    "user"-object is stored in the session. The very fact that the user-object
    exists means that the user is validated. The method for verifying that a
    user is authenticated is thus to check the session for the occurence of this
    object before execution of any JSP or Servlet. For files within their WAR
    this works fine, but as soon as a call is made to a JSP or Servlet within
    our EAR the method of authentication breaks because a new session is
    generated, void of the user-object.
    We've solved the problem by co-deploying a single WAR. In my opinion this is
    a really ugly solution because there is no longer a clean separation of
    "their" and our files, and it makes deployment a real hassle.
    Skipping any points of view as to their chosen method of authentication (we
    don't like it either but its going to remain unchanged no matter what), do
    you see any other way for us to get things to work where we (hopefully) can
    keep our files separate from one another.

    It would be a violation of the Servlet spec to do so and although in 6.0
    you could share the session at least in 7.0 it isn't the case.
    I'm not familiar with 6.1 but even if you could do it there then your
    application is not going to be portable since you'll be relying on a
    specific vendor implementation.

  • Sharing sessions between web applications (WAR files)

    I am using weblogic 6.1. The opinion I have read indicates that
              sessions cannot be shared between WAR files. That is, I cannot put an
              attribute on the session from a servlet/JSP in one WAR file and read
              it out from the other. The only justification I've seen is "security".
              Now, I find this rather difficult to accept for several reasons:
              1. I cannot fathom what kind of "security" would prevent me from
              sharing the session between two web applications that I wrote myself.
              Let's say I want to write a system that I divide up, for
              modularity/separate deployment purposes, into 5 different WAR files.
              Why should I not be able to just sign on once and pass that logon
              information in the session from one to the other? (I know, I can use
              cookies or URL rewriting - but that doesn't seem to be to be a good
              solution. And if you can share information through cookies, why not
              through sessions?) What about other user information like currently
              selected language?
              2. Several app servers (iPlanet and I have heard two others) allow you
              to share sessions between WARs. Why not weblogic?
              Thanks for any information you can give me. I have not been able to
              find anything in weblogic documentation about this. If I am
              misunderstanding the server capabilities, please enlighten me.

  • How Session based web Application should work even after session expiry??

    I am looking for an experts opinion that how could I develop an application that should work after the expiry of web session too in the same way as it works in web session.
    How the session should be activated.
    As I understood, what if I store all the required information in xml and then on unlock session reload all the information from XML.
    Am I right or is there any other better way to do using servlets.
    Basically I need to implement Lock and UnLock mechanism in an application.
    Thanks

    I'm not sure I understand your question. But since no one answered this yet, here is my idea:
    If the user's session expires, any unsaved data is lost. The user should expect this.
    If do need to save any data, normally you store it it a database table with the user's ID so you can retrieve it. Two free databases are Oracle Lite and MySql. However, this will take quite a bit of time to learn if you are not already familiar with databases. Storing it in a database and retrieving it is much much faster than storing it in a file.

  • Create a new web application, how shall I update the file server.xml

    Hi,
    I will create a new web application, i.e named newApp. Then I create a file structure as follows:
    - <server-root>/newApp
    - <server-root>/newApp/WEB-INF
    - <server-root>/newApp/WEB-INF/classes
    Then I must tell the server that I have created a new web application. Then I must update my file server.xml, How shall I do this and where in the file shall I type in the new information?

    To use servlets u have indeed to update your web.xml...Well I'm not sure this is relevant to your case anyway.
    You have to add a <servlet> element to this file.
    Something like this:
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>blabla</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>blablapackage.Blablaclass</servlet-class>
    <init-param>...</init-param>
    </servlet>
    Now this may not solve your problem. Make sure you refer to your servlets using their full qualified names.btw, just to be sure, what is your definition of "servlet"? (i mean: any java class or only javax.servlet.Servlet)

  • Problem with Configuring Tomcat for running jsp web applications..Plz HELP

    I am using Tomcat 5.5 and Jdk 1.5.0_12 and Oracle 10g. I am using jdbc-odbc bridge connection
    to connect to the database. I have placed my project folder called
    tdm under the webapps folder in Tomcat. This 'tdm' folder consists of
    a collection of html pages,jsp pages and images of my project. Also I created a
    WEB-INF folderand in that I have lib folder which contains catalina-root.jar
    , classes12.jar and nls_charset.jar files. And also in the WEB-INF folder I have the web.xml
    file which looks like this

    By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
    So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
    that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
    A cluster has the following parameters:
    className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class
    name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
    mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
    mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
    mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
    auto means that address becomes
    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
    false means to replicate the session after each request.
    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
    <%
    HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
    map.put("key","value");
    %>
    replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
    nodes have received the information.
    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
    and then return to the client.
    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
    large network delay.
    -->
    <!--
    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
    coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
    A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
    2. a session exists (has been created)
    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
    ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
    The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
    Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
    so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
    The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
    and cluster wide

    tdm under the webapps folder in Tomcat. This 'tdm' folder consists of
    a collection of html pages,jsp pages and images of my project. Also I created a
    WEB-INF folderand in that I have lib folder which contains catalina-root.jar
    , classes12.jar and nls_charset.jar files. And also in the WEB-INF folder I have the web.xml
    file which looks like this
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

    By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
    So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
    that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
    A cluster has the following parameters:
    className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class
    name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
    mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
    mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
    mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
    auto means that address becomes
    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
    false means to replicate the session after each request.
    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
    <%
    HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
    map.put("key","value");
    %>
    replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
    nodes have received the information.
    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
    and then return to the client.
    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
    large network delay.
    -->
    <!--
    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
    coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
    A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
    2. a session exists (has been created)
    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
    ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
    The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
    Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
    so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
    The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
    and cluster wide

    WHY DOES IT HAPPEN SO? DOES IT MEAN THAT TOMCAT IS NOT RECOGNIZING JAVA IN MY SYSTEM OR IS IT A PROBLEM

    IS IT POSSIBLE?WHY WILL THIS HAPPEN?
    I set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment to the jdk and tomcat folders resp.
    Is there any other thing that I need to set in classpath? Should I have my project as a
    WAR file in the webapps of TOMCAT or just a folder i.e. directory structure will fine?

  • Session time out in a web application

    Hi,
    I am making a struts based web application. For session time out validation I have made an entry in the web.xml file as <session-config>
              <session-timeout>1</session-timeout>
         </session-config>
    In case the user's session time out occurs then he should be directed back to the log in page.
    Can any one tell me how to proceed in this case and what are the best practices.
    thanks

    Hi
    I've tested it with OC4J and it works both ways.
    I do think that you must have the
    <session-config> tag present though for the setMax... method to
    work, observe that this method is for seconds and not millisecond
    regards

    Change it in a web.xml works fine , but if in my servlet i try

    We have had this issue many, many times before including on the latest 3.6 rev. It appears that when the applicationCache has an update triggered by a new manifest file, the browser may still use only its local network cache to check for updates to the files in the manifest, instead of forcing an HTTP request and revalidating both the browser cache and the applicationCache versions of the cached file (seems there is more than one). I have to assume this is a browser bug, as one should not have to frig with server Cache-Control headers and such to get this to work as expected (and even then it still doesn't sometimes).
    The only thing that seems to fix the problem is setting network.http.use-cache to false (default is true) in about:config . This helps my case because we only ever run offline (applicationCache driven) apps in the affected browser (our managed mobile apps platform), but it will otherwise slow down your browser experience considerably.

    Hi all
    When user connect through asp or asp.net, we create a connection in the session object. New sid gets created with each session.
    When user normally logs out the application, his sid gets finished in the v$session users list. But when he dees not logs out in the normal way as we can not force thousand of users over WEB to log out normally, what will happen to the v$session ?.
    1st - We wish to know to know that whether the list will run into thousands of inactive status users OR they automatically gets finished over time. We use the default profile as applicable to new user.
    2nd - If the list of inactive status users gets increased to thousands of users which can be possible for the WEB application , there must be some limit fixed by Oracle 8i/ 10g database OR there may be serious performance problems. This simultaneous connection of thousands of users over WEB is easily possible and when connection is created in session object , what could be the scenario. We avoid creating connection object in the application start event to improve performance for the given sesion.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks for prompt reply
    1st - Can u give some idea for create connection pools using asp.net environments. Further in the connection pool environment as to how much simultaneous running connections we should need to open and how.
    2nd - If we have pool of say 100 connections and there are more number of simultaneous WEB users, what will happen to the application as to whether it gets to hanging /waiting for the pool connection to be free or give error ?.
