[Yanel-dev] Tomcat on different ports on same hostname

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

I was playing with two Tomcats both running Yanel (NOT a cluster setup, 
but just two independent Tomcats), but on different ports, e.g.

http://127.0.0.1:8080/yanel/?yanel.toolbar=on

http://127.0.0.1:8180/yanel/?yanel.toolbar=on

and kept get signed out, because Tomcat (and/or Jetty) is setting a 
cookie called JSESSIONID independent
of the port and hence when accessing the Tomcat's from the same browser 
conflicts start.

It seems like quite a few people have this problem

e.g.

One simple workaround is just to use two different browsers, but another 
simple workaround
is to use 127.0.0.1 for one Tomcat and localhost for the other, e.g.

http://127.0.0.1:8080/yanel/?yanel.toolbar=on

http://localhost:8180/yanel/?yanel.toolbar=on

Cheers
