Session details across two web server

Question

We have an Java based web application which is hosted on NES/Weblogic app server
under clustering environment.
We are planning to build an .NET interface using SOAP to enable the functionality
extended as web services under .NET framework.
Since the client requests are first hit at the IIS and are then routed through
SOAP to Weblogic/NES, we need those sessions that are created in IIS to be replicated
in Weblogic. In otherwords we need to distingwish the client requests individually
at Weblogic. As all client requests are routed directly from IIS( One client as
for as Weblogic concerned).
As I have noticed there is no direct way to resolve this. Do U guys have any suggestions.
You could mail me directly.
Thanks in advance.
Regads, Rajiv

Answer 1

Yep,
In the servlet on ServerA have setSession and getSession methods.
When you create the session and when you add to it, call setSession:
setSession(session);This is what the setSession method looks like
public void setSession(HttpSession session)
  this.session = session;
}When servletA calls servletB, pass an instance of servletA to it.
ServletB b = new ServletB(servletA);servletB's contructor:
public ServletB(servletA)
  this.servletA = servletA;
}Now you can call ServletA's getSession method from ServletB:
session = servletA.getSession();and this is what ServletA's getSession looks like:
public HttpSession getSession()
  return session;
}
