Is it possible to assign a custom ID to a HTTP session through Servlet API? I know that session handling from any application server, Tomcat for example, it's enough good to generate unique IDs. But I have custom unique session IDs based on information per user and time, so it won't be repeated. And I looked at every documentation abou...

I have a Java applet that runs inside a forms-authenticated aspx page. In the .NET 1.1 version of my site, the applet has access to the session cookie and is able to retrieve a file from the server, but in the .NET 2.0 version it fails to authenticate. I have seen a couple of forum posts elsewhere that state that 2.0 sets cookies to Htt...

The communication should be session based, and thus the first task is to login and make the PHP script set up a session. I'm not used to working with sessions either from C++ or PHP. I basically know that it has to do with cookies and communicating ses...

I've been reading up on this subject for a while. Suddenly the day has come where this solution is a necessity, not just a dream. Through my reading, I've seen the popular differences being (file based, memcached, shared memory (mm), sql table, and custom). The idea we originally thought of was using a ZFS or AFS mounted on each of the...
