We are having trouble sharing sessions through diferent applications that each has it's own app pool.
Is this normal? I mean, sessions are not shared? Are they only valid in one App Pool ?
Anyway we're trying to use the product "Session.Farm" from Groat.com to share them, but it's not working.

Any ideas? clues? special knowledge on this ?

Thanks

Well yes, that makes sense if they are in different app pools. As for
Session.Farm, I'm not familiar with that product and you'd have to look to
Groat.com for support.

Are you using ASP or ASP.NET?

How session state works and how it is implemented:

http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/09/19/Why_do_I_lose_ASP_Session_State_on_IIS6.aspx

Built in ASP Session state is not app-pool-aware. It is possible to write
and use out-of-process session state service to work across Application
Pools. For example, ASP.Net Session State Service does this for ASP.Net
applications.

We are not providing a comparable service for ASP in the box.
