Hello Srvna,

The following is just an idea:

Create an collection of logged in users where you will add the users, and add that to the session.

Then each time you log in, check if the session still exists and if that user is in the session collection.

Probably you will also have to implement a custom timeout per user.

Hello again!

After some attempts, i arrived to the following conclusion:

1. Hybris cockpits are using iframes and popup windows: it will be difficult to handle a "different tab" session from a child iframe or window
2. I think it is not a matter or ZK capabilities but it is a more general matter of session handling: you are not the first one trying to achieve this and you can find several discussions on google
3. In particular... i think this one is interesting: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/368653/how-to-differ-sessions-in-browser-tabs/11783754#11783754

There are some hints there about HTML5 sessionStorage that might help you, or the one marked as "Occam's approach" even more.

My conclusion is that having "an application in ZK which has multiple user sessions across multiple tabs of the same browser" is a bad idea at start and i am not able to think about a possible scenario where such a requirement might be fundamental... it might sound idiotic... but maybe you can define several different 3rd level domains like admins.yourdomain.com and customers.yourdomain.com?

Good luck anyway! Gio
