Hi Arturo,
How did the application know who the user was so that it would know
which user's logged in status to check? Was it via a cookie?

Has anyone got design pattern suggestions on how to do this? Would it
involve something like saving serialized session information to
database and storing a session id in a cookie and checking this as
the user clicks into different WO apps?
When I built the one for bigchalk we made everyone log-in through a
portal. Whenever an application needed to see if someone was logged
it it would hit the authentication service (kind of a webservice
paradigm but it predated WebServices) to confirm the user's logged in
state. If the user was not logged in then it would redirect to the
portal's login page. That would also hit the authentication service.
It got more interesting (xsl, xml, etc) when everyone wanted
customized login pages :-)
