The fixes implemented for bug 45951 and bug 42419 are a huge step forward for configuring the session cookie name. However, a situation could exist similar to what is described in bug 42419, but instead of the applications being deployed to different servers they are separate webapps deployed on the same server. In that case, is there a way to vary the session cookie name by webapp?
It is possible but you'd have to switch configuration to the Context. When that was raised previously, the general feeling was that that level of control would not be required. The patch should be pretty simple.
