Hi,

I was of the understanding that Session variables were GLOBALLY scoped
across all Applications on a specific web site and that data obtained and
stored in "variables" were available for other applications - it seems I was
wrong.

It appears that the data is held on a per-application instance ie. Each
applications data is "sand-boxed" from other apps and cannot be referenced.

Apart from storing Application data in a database (to facilitate sharing) ,
how else can data be "shared" between Applications ?

You may place it in persistent cookies if it's not too big. Or you may place
an ID in a cookie, and store on the server (file system, database, ...) the
data that correspond to each ID.
 
Humm I wonder maybe if there is a cure in the GAC. Not sure if it would
work by try placing the common components accessing the session in the GAC
together...

Might not work but just a thought...
