OK, so I'm not a java developer and I really need to clear this up.
Are you saying that a java client on a desktop can store and use a
cookie?

The scenario is this... user logs on to SSO.  The existing modules are
web-based and use SSO token in the browser.  The new java module will
connect to the OAS server and pull down data.  The java module should
use the same authentication mechanism as the existing web modules and
should be able to launch the web modules without being asked for the
user credentials (already logged in) for the web modules.  And
vice-versa. web module ---> java module without being asked for
credentials.

Is this possible?  I'm not asking for a solution, just an assertion,
yes possible or no not possible.

Thanks again for your help.
