Hi,

We have a Java web application and our website company hosts an instance of the web wiz forum for our "chat room".

The problem is that our users want our Java app to store the logon information for the forum, so that once they are logged into the Java app they can navigate to the forum without having to log on again. However these Java app is maintained by us, and the forum by our website company, hence there are two seperate databases.

Is there anyway I can store the log on information in the browser session, or perhaps in a cookie.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think Java Sessions and ASP sessions can talk to each other, so that puts that way out the window.

You could have a look at the way the auto-login works using cookies and try to create the auto-login cookie in your java app.
