The reason for loosing the session is that another browser window is in
another process and the session cookies are not available there. It also
depends on the browser you useand its settings (whether the new window is in
the same process or in a new one). To get around it you need to do session
tracking without using cookies i.e. with session ID in the URL.

> Hi!

> data.
> To run the servlet I'm using something like this:
> ... a href="./servelts/MyServlet" target="_blank" ...
> If no other browser window is open, MyServlet fails saying no session
> available.
> If another browser window is open, MyServlet runs
> successfully using the
> session of the calling servlet.
> I'm using Apache 1.3.9, JServ 1.1, Jsdk 2.0, IE4 & 5.
> Thanks for your help.
