[Tapestry-developer] getRequestCycle null after session serializes

[Luke Galea]

Hello,             I have a strange problem (well.. at least I think it’s strange). I have extended BasePage for pages that need validation and access to the database. In my page I have a method: “getSession” that pulls the db connection data from the request cycle ( or checks if it is already there really ).   It works perfectly until I either: 1. Disabled page caching and refresh the page or click any links that involve a refresh 2. With page caching on, wait 2-3 mins or so for the server-side session to be serialized ( that’s my guess at least ) then try and refresh.   I noticed that in the FAQ it says that disabling page caching is a good way to: “test that you are persisting server-side state correctly”.   I believe I am doing this correctly, I don’t see how even implementing this incorrectly would result in “getRequestCycle” returning null.. unless perhaps I am forgetting to call super() somewhere?   Thanks in advance…   Luke Galea Software Development BlueCat Networks 905-762-5225
