here is what i do in my code.
i have a login html form whose action attribute points to
http://server:portnumber/loginservlet
the servlet gets the date entered by the user using request.getParameter and
queries the database to know the role of the user who has logged on.
after retrieving the role and user id, I redirect the flow to another HTML
using response.Redirect('someMenu.html');
that menu further contains some links which again point to different
servlets.
using <a href 'servlet/someservlet.java'>
what i find is, the session loss occurs when the flow reaches the new
servlet
my application is deploed on Iplanet WebServer 4.1

Hi,
Can u please mention the url of the servlet from where u are redirecting and
the url of the servlet to which u are redirecting.
If u could paste some code and mention the servlet container u are using, it
would help us identify the problem.
regards
