ofbiz external login problem

[gcameo]

In regard to the issue discussed here,
http://osdir.com/ml/user.ofbiz.apache.org/2009-03/msg00121.html

I have just realize that, in my installation, even switching between differents tabs in the same application causes a request for login because "normally", an external login ID is not associated with the request. I realise this issue is not present in the current demo on the ofbiz site. Is there a quick fix (or a particular file )I can apply to fix this in my installation without having to upgrade all of my ofbiz installation as I am on the verge of going live and have too many production customizations in my installation.

Thank you

If you have cookies enabled, browsing inside the same web application,  
should not require login.
Have you changed some settings (like session-timeout in web.xml)?

All I have done is use the create-component ant target to create a new component in the hot-deploy directory. Then I have moved the ecommerce controller.xml to replace the generated file. Then all I am doing is overriding the screens as I change them to suit my needs. So technically, I am only changing the views. The only change in the web.xml is to change the storeID. I also allowed /product context to be used to view products which was absent in my revision.(bug)

The problem seem to appear and vanish and then reappear on the same browser instance within the same session logged in as same user.

If you are creating a back-end application, you can try by copying  
another controller file. Ecommerce controller has some events  
different from back end application events. I don't guess anything  
else from the info you gave.

The problem is not actually with the ecommerce applivcation or the component I have created. The problem is with other applications specifically the catalog manager and party manger and I am sure I left them as they were. The system is a demo server (for showcase ) so I can give you access to see it for yourself.
