 Is your intent that you need the

That's close.  In my reply to the invoking J2EE app I need to send back the session ID I was sent from it, more as a security measure I believe than to maintain a user's original session, although that's probably a byproduct of the protocol.

To take it up another level, what ultimately I'm trying to do is drive a Facebook application (the otherJ2EEApplication in my example) using webobjects.  Keep in mind also that I've just started, so I haven't fully investigated the protocol.  Perhaps there is a way to configure facebook to send the sessionID in some other fashion, I'll have to do some more reading tonight.  I was just hoping perhaps there was an easy way to get the sessionID sent from the app using the webobjects.  I have a working j2ee facebook "hello world" program now, I was hoping to use webobjects in the same way without having to change anything on the facebook side.

And I do plan on printing out all the form variables I'm receiving currently, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks,
Jeff
