I’m using the below anchor tag on a JSP page to open another page from the same application, but the new window is not opened in the same session and instead it redirects to the login page of my application. Any clues why?
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('/path_to_same_page', '_blank',
'toolbar=0,status=0,resizable=1'); return false;">Click here...</a>
Reason behind this behaviour is, the parent page is hosted on a IE web browser control embedded in our windows application. When it creates a new window (either using window.open or target=”_blank”), the new window is owned by iexplore.exe process and doesn’t inherit the session cookies from the parent IE window, which is owned by our application process. There is no generic solution to this problem. In our case, we used some kind of Single Sign On to share the session context between two window instances.
