Description Brian Olsen 2003-06-29 07:15:24 UTC 
The current Session interface can only be used smoothly with HttpSession since
it can only return HttpSession. This means that using Tomcat to make an
implementation of the SIP Servlet API would require a hack on top of the Session
interface.

I would like that we change the Session interface to return a ServletSession
interface that contains the methods that HttpSession has in common with
SipSession and SipApplicationSession to enable a better and more smooth
implementation of the SIP Servlet API.

I have just made a patch that adds the changes I sugested.

The consensus of the Tomcat community seemed to be against your proposal, sorry.
