Sharing Sessions with AppLogics
Servlet programmers can use the iPlanet Application Server interface, HttpSession2 to share distributable sessions between AppLogics and servlets. Sharing sessions is useful when you want to migrate an application from NAS 2.x to iPlanet Application Server 6.5. HttpSession2 interface adds security and direct distributable sessions manipulation.
Additionally, if you establish a session in an AppLogic using loginSession() and you want to access the session from a servlet, you must call the setSessionVisibility() method in the AppLogic class to instruct the session cookie to transmit to servlets as well as AppLogics. Additionally, this must be completed before calling saveSession().
For example, in an AppLogic:
domain=".mydomain.com";
path="/"; //make entire domain visible
isSecure=true;
if ( setSessionVisibility(domain, path, isSecure) == GXE.SUCCESS )
{ // session is now visible to entire domain }
For more information about setSessionVisibility(), refer to the AppLogic class in the Foundation Class Reference (Java). For more information about sharing sessions between AppLogics and servlets, see the Migration Guide.

Thanks for your reply, Raj!
I can get the HttpSession object by req.getSession() in Servlets. But can I cast it into HttpSession2? I found ClassCastException when I tried this. How can I get the HttpSession2 so that I can use it to share the session with Applogics?
