Not sure if this is exactly relevant, but a couple of possibilities with a similar problem.
1. It could be the IE6 plus cookie security settings. I saw some info about this on the 'big moose' and dejanews mailing lists looking for Tomcat and session and IE6. However, we only get this problem with IE6 after applying a security patch, without the patch IE6 retains it's session, with the patch we get the same sort of behaviour as you describe. 2. From my testing of our problem I found the following. - Using IE6 without patch with Tomcat 4 then session is retained okay with jsp. - Using IE6 with the security patch and Tomcat 4 then session not retained in a jsp, but it was using the Tomcat 4 demo session servlet. - Using Netscape 6 and Tomcat 4 session retained with jsp. - Using IE6 with the patch and resin as the app server then session was retained okay. I decided that it was a problem between Tomcat 4 and IE6 with the security patch (my IE version is showing as 6.0.2600.0000, with update Versions: Q313675; 3283;, the same IE version with update Versions:0 worked okay). As our users will be using IE5 and we have the option of switching the app server to resin, then I stopped investigating at this point. Although a swift look on google showed a few people with similar sounding problems. hth, Mike >===== Original Message From A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >Hello, > I am facing a very interesting problem with Netscape6.1 and 6.2 version. >I am having one applet which loads with a "AfterLogin.jsp" page in the Client machine.Now > >When the Client cuts the Browser then in the "destroy()" method of the Applet it initiates a > >SaveServlet class which is inside the JBoss-tomcat server.This servlet upon invoke just save > >some datas in the database.The servlet uses one session value which I set in jsp page after > >Login. >Now the problem with Netscate 6.1 and 6.2 is that when the Servlet is invoked and it > >retrieves the Session data it is getting "null". >But with the same code the Servlet is getting the same Session value correctly in case of > >lower versions of Netscape and with IE 5.0 or greater. >It will be very helpful to me if anyone can enlight me why this is happening..how could the > >Browser is invalidating the Application Session. > >One more thing is with Netscape 6.1 the Loading of Applet is throwing Exception. >Waiting for Reply. > >Thanks in advance. > >Rajarshi Ghosh >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >-----------LOVE IS GOD------------------ >Mr. Rajarshi Ghosh >Senior Software Engineer(Team Leader) >Educomp Datamatics Ltd. >No-16,80 ft Road,4th Block,Koramangala >Bangalore- 560034 >mail to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Totalise - the Users ISP ---------------------- To become a member and a shareholder visit http://www.totalise.net =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
