Could it be that your servlet and JSP page are actually part of two different
applications/contexts? A context is identified by a URL prefix, so for instance
if you have one context associated with /foo and call your servlet with a URL
/servlet/myController
and the JSPs as
/foo/myJSP.jsp
the servlet is executed in the default context and the JSP is executed in the
/foo context; and contexts don't share sessions.
If this is the problem, try calling your servlet as
/foo/servlet/myController
instead. Or even better, map it to an explicit path such as /myController
and call it with
/foo/myController
See the Servlet 2.2 spec for details about how to map servlets to URL
paths.
