Help! Two browser caches, one session - how to manage?!?
Hi all. I have a j2ee application that my company has deployed and is browseable through Outlook's web browser. The application frequently opens a new window, which unfortunately runs in a SEPARATE Internet Explorer process (read...knows nothing about the existing session). Okay, so I added a method that appends ;JSESSIONID=xxx to any new child window and bingo, that window correctly interacts with the server in the current session.
Problem comes when the session expires, the user is presented with a login dialog in the child window, they login, all's good. But now the parent (the web page display in Outlook, now has no clue about the new session id created by the child window login).
Help!
The first problem was easy to solve because all child windows open through a common javascript function. However, there are so many ways the user could end the interaction with the child window that I'm stumped on how to tell the parent about the new session id. Can I do it through Javascript by setting a cookie on the parent document from the child?
Any help would be appreciated!
