Getting Session Replication Problem in IE ver > 7

[shweta sharma]

Hi ,

 

I am getting 1 strange  problem of session replication while using IE 7/8 ( > 6 )  to open  the webapp.

 

I have deployed my WebApp in tomcat 4.1 & on Jboss 5 too but it never gave such  problem  while viewing with IE 6.0

 

Actually i have created different users having different priviledges given to the  webApp.

 

Steps are as follows >

 

1) log into webApp as ( say ) user1 in IE 7

 

2) open a different browser instance of IE 7.0 from  short cut provided on Task bar

 

3) log into Webapp as other user say User2

 

4) go to previous  window of user1 -> refresh page  then it vl show  the page of user 2

 

& user 1 is gone......

 

I tracked the session & found that  on opening   new window  it is opening the webapp in same session ..beacuse it is  showing same session ID in both instances.

 

does anybody has  some idea , how  it is happening & why.?

 

It is not giving any problem with IE 6.0

 

Thank in advance

 

Regards

Shweta

The search phrase I used in google was "internet explorer 6 shared session"

this is what I undersand when session sharing in IE6 & IE7

 

IE6: If you have logged in in one browser instance and open a new one from the same window, session will be shared. If opened from IE Tool bar, session will not be shared.

 

IE7: If you have logged in in one browser and open a new window/tab from same browser instane session will be shared.

 

Hope it helps
