[opencms-dev] OpenCMS Authentication

[Sebastian Himberger]

Hi Bill,

since OpenCms is a Singleton it is imho not possible to login a user 
inside another webapp (using initCmsObject). Because, as far as i know, 
every webapp has it's own classloader.  What exactly are you trying to 
achieve?

best regards
Sebastian
