Description Pasi Lehtimäki CLA 2005-11-30 06:46:35 EST 
I need to be able to create a multipage editor with a swt browser on each page. Each of these browsers need to have different session. This is needed when building a tool to test a web application. Currently each of the browser components share the very same session and that causes problems.

On Windows, it does not appear that there is any way to have different session data for multiple embedded IE controls running in the same process.

We have been looking for a solution to this problem for some time now and so far have not found an answer.

In 3.2, Grant added the ability to clear session data (Browser.clearSessions()) which will clear the session data - but this again is the data shared by all the embedded browser instances.

any update on this?

No update, except that there isn't currently support for this in the native browsers used by the SWT Browser.  If this becomes natively supported then it would be a great functionality to expose.
