Can session be shared between two different applications hosted in separate application servers

Question

I am curious to know if this is possible:

Physical Server A:

Hosts web application A in weblogic application server.

Physical server B:

Hosts portet P, in JBOSS application server.

Now, in web application A, I am creating some XML file. Can i place the XML file in session and pass it to portlet P hosted in Physical sever B.

Like, in web-app "A" have a link for portlet-P (hosted in physical server-B), so while clicking on the link, it redirects to portlet-P, and sends the data to P. Now, can we have session that can be "transferred" from web-application A, to portlet P?

If this isn't achievable, then are there any other alternatives, please suggest.

Best Regards

Answer 1

You will not be able to share session directly between two applications, because the cookie set by www.abc.com/app1 will not be sent to www.abc.com/app2 .

But you when you have a session on server1, you can send the required details to server2 and create a session. So that you will have same session on both servers.
