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.
