I am developing an SSO application and we are using this kind of scenario
when one app calls some actions of the other app. We are picking those URLs
from DB and simply providing links to them.

Hello All,

I believe Single Sign On will be able to share Session attributes between 
applications. Single Sign On is supported by many application servers like 
Oracle, BEA, IBM, etc

Thanks and regards,

Not to mention, some of the Struts tags (form, link) derive context at
runtime, so you don't have the ability to specify an external context.

I don't know if I'd refer to SSO as "something klugy"
