Title: 
SessionContext and Cookies conflict
Date Added: 18-Dec-2002

Section:   v0.85/5.1.1
Description:
Now that we have fully tied 
WSRP to HTTP cookies, a consumer has to handle two types of session: cookies 
returned by initCookie() and SessionContexts returned by markup interface 
responses. Means double the work for a consumer and likely to lead to 
errors.
Resolution:
Suggest that no SessionContext can be returned by 
producer when cookie protocol is "perUser" or "perGroup" (e.g. JSR168 Portlets). 
No sessionID is then required to be supplied, with cookies in use, by a consumer 
in RuntimeContext. SessionContext then becomes our (non-http, transport 
independent) protocol session mechanism if and only if cookie protocol is 
"none".
