Re: How to manage sessions with OAS 4 / JWeb cartridge?

It sounds like the Client Sessions setting for your Java cartridge is disabled.... although you seem to suggest otherwise. According to the docs I have, setting that to 'enabled' should prevent other browsers from accessing the same instance.

The other thing you need to be careful about is doing your own clean-up: After user number one is finished, that cartridge instance is made available for other browsers, and because you have static objects in it, you need to make sure those objects are returned to an acceptable state for the next user. Could this be your problem?

Also, try posting to this group:
