[Zope] keeping Java Servlets session ids based on url rewriting

[albert boulanger]

I am using the latest Zope release using ZServer directly (but will be
running under Apache....)


I need to coordinate Zope based sessions and servelet sessions. We
will be using url rewriting (I know use cookies, but we are doing
worst case planning.). As you may know the rewritten urls that the
servlet does look like http://foo/bar;$<id here>$. I need to retain
the stuff after the ;.  This seems to be dropped i think in ZServer. I
was going to store the servlet sesssion id in a SQLSession object by
having the servlet do a response redirect to a dtml method to process
the id after the ;.

Will Apache frontending and setting the CGI-vars fix this issue?

A more general question, has anyone worked on the general
cross-session issues like this? I think this is consideration item for
the new session support in Zope.
