I found this at a Tomcat mailing list and since I've seen here some posts questioning
about it and even less concrete
replies, here it is (simple but works ! I once get it to work like this, but I've also
forgot it later and lost almost a day trying
to solve this situation) :
"I noticed some posts about people having problems loosing the session
information when using JSPs with servlets. For examples if I did the
following in a JSP: <FORM ACTION="/servlet/com.mycom.MyServlet" ... > when MyServlet
got control, the Session
was empty. I found out that if I did this the "right way" and defined the servlet in
my web.xml, e.g., <servlet>
<servlet-name>theServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.mycom.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>theServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>someServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping> and in the JSP said: <FORM ACTION="someServlet" ... > then
all worked fine. You may
have to adjust the path a bit depending upon where your
JSP is, etc. The Tomcat mapping trace can help you debug
mapping problems. This seems like it is a Tomcat bug, but the above is not only a
workaround, but a more maintainable way of doing things.
