Websphere Session Question

[David Carrico]

In Websphere 3.01, if I have several vitual hosts for different apps, but
all are associated with the same
domain (i.e. ***.xyz.com), do the Websphere apps share the same session across
virtual hosts?

Thanks,

Snipped from the WAS Infocenter:

In a clustered environment, the session may be accessed on any virtual host
in a cluster. Which virtual host is actually accessed will be transparent
to the end user. During a session transaction, if the virtual host fails
during the WebSphere HttpSession transaction, then the update to the database
does not occur. Still, the common pool of sessions continues to function,
including the session being processed during the failure, minus any updates
made during the uncompleted transaction.

If virtual host in this context are 'clones' distributed on different nodes(or
a single node) I'm not sure it's quite what you are looking for - but take
a look at 'Session-clustering' in the Infocenter!? Should be supported from
WAS 3.x!
