Hello,

I have been trying to find ways to force the Web 2.0 browser to create a new session in a simple way (like in Web Developer extension for Firefox; clearing the session cookies), but couldn’t find anything except a button to clear the cache (nice, but not nice enough).

Am I missing something or is it just not there? And if the latter, are you planning to add such a feature?

Regards,

Harry,
Most likely there isn’t the support you need right now in the web 2.0 browser to do this, but I am filing it to be addressed in a future release.

Harry, one of the devs was confused here if you are asking about clearing server-side session state (like resetting your Tomcat Session object) or if you mean client side server state?

Riyad,

Thanks for the quick reply. To answer your question; I meant the HttpSession object in the web container, usually controlled via a cookie. If you are maintaining application related state information in there a quick and easy way to destroy the session cookie would be very convenient.

Oh, just forgot something…

Maybe as a work around for now; how does the MyEclipse Web 2.0 browser manage its session state? Also via cookies? Is there something in the filesystem that I can manually delete that would force the browser to create a new session?
