Session Cookie Name : As both the application have same cookie name i.e JSESSIONID , so its difficult to know which JSESSIONID belongs to which application , so in this scenario we need to change the Session cookie name. 2. Cookie Path :  By default tomcat create a session cookie for the app context, due to which we can't share the cookies between two application , so we need to change the cookie path from  context to the root. For doing the above point we can use  ServletContextListener or   web.xml file. 1.
