I'm trying to migrate an application from WebLogic 11g to JBoss AS 7.1.
Our application is based on the following EAR design (with JBoss convention):
myapp.ear
|--- launcher.war
|--- app1.war
|--- app2.war
|--- ...
|--- lib
The user connects to the launcher application, signs in, and then is allowed from this launcher to access app1, app2 etc...
It works fine, because in the launcher we put in the session an object User.java (available in a jar in the lib/ folder), which is visible in all apps since WebLogic allows sharing the same session within the same EAR with the following configuration, in file weblogic-application.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<wls:weblogic-application >
<wls:session-descriptor>
<wls:sharing-enabled>true</wls:sharing-enabled>
</wls:session-descriptor>
</wls:weblogic-application>
However, I can't find any equivalent to the sharing-enabled flag. I managed to disable the isolation within an EAR, share the same JSESSION ID within all applications (but the session is still not shared), and people are suggesting SSO which looks overkill for my application.
Is there any way to share the session, or should I redesign the whole application and put all my apps in the launcher WAR?
Thanks by advance for any help.
