Description

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to attach the java client to an existing session?
For javascript-wd driver there is an "attach" method which connects the driver to an existing session:
https://github.com/admc/wd#attach-to-an-already-existing-session

So, I was just wondering if there is a similar method in the java client library?

Thanks

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Java client library's session entry points and comparing them with the javascript-wd attach method linked in the issue. Done means the Java client can connect to an already-existing session with behavior equivalent to that method.
