Description

Because our Valve is installed at the Engine level, request will pass through it only once. Therefore, we will not process the forwarded request correctly. Details:

• the two contexts will share the same cookie (which would have to use “/” path)
• the contexts should cooperate in cooking the response correctly (e.g. what if diff contexts use diff session cookie id?)
• we have to be able to create a session for a requested session id in case of cross-context forwarded requests
• we have to be able to obtain/commit locks correctly, as request traverses all possible combinations of DSO-ized and non-DSO-ized contexts

Possible solution: In addition to installing a Valve, we might also have to install Tomcat Session Manager
