Re: [jetty-user] Create a session from an existing one

Hi Jan,

We have a web-application that allows a user who is logged in to a 
"main" user session (an HTTP Session that is tracked via a session id in 
the URL) to open additional windows that form a separate session.

We already do the following: (HTML-FORM IN PAGE WITHOUT SESSION) / 
[POST] -> SERVLET / [CREATE SESSION + REDIRECT TO SESSION] -> (HTML PAGE 
WITH SESSION IN URL)

And want to do something similar starting from a page that is already in 
a session.

I hope that clears it up a bit? In other words I need another way of 
creating a session than request.getSession(true) because the request is 
already in a session. I need the session to be created without having a 
session-less request around.

Cheers,

Silvio
