- The applet doesn't touch the session only the servlets do. The servlets
simply output to the requestor(the applet).
- The urls used to call the servlets are hard coded in the applet.
- Cookies are not manually implemented.
- Cookies are enabled on all browsers used.
- I have seen the messages in the archive but they do not resolve the
problem.
- I have run this on a single computer and accessed it from others with the
same result(running on Tomcat 3.1).
This is just to answer some speculative question, I'll check some of your
other suggestions and let everyone know.
thanks for everyones input,
dennis

Take this all with a grain of salt, but some random
thoughts:
- Your applet does nothing at all to explicitly handle
sessions? You aren't saving cookies off somewhere and
manually adding them to the subsequent http requests
to your servlet?
- How does your applet call the servlets? Where does it
get the url to use? I ask because if you're using URLs
you got from the JSP, then they could contain
session information. If IE has cookies turned off, and
Netscape has them turned on, that could explain the
behavior you see. (This is all getting very speculative)
You might be able to check this by looking at the server
logs, and checking if there is a difference between a
request from Netscape, and a request from IE.
- Whip out a snooper (which one to use depends on your
platform) and examine just exactly what's getting
passed back and forth between IE/Netscape and the
server.
- It's probably not your directory structure.
