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

You are 99% of the way there - you need to put the class HelloWorld or whatever it is called on the physical path, not the classpath. Not sure if I got the term right, but the physical path is the directory which the virtual path resolves to in the JWeb setup. Statics are session specific in those classes loaded from the physical path, but are VM specific (or what we're all used to) when the class is loaded from the CLASSPATH.
