Hi, This problem bought to the user list after it became evident it was a configuration issue and not a development one. Can anyone tell me why my session cookie is being invalidated when I close a popup window (the original remains open), either by window.close(); (Javascript) or the Windows close Ap. icon on the top right corner? Note: running the app. (and closing the popup) from the same instance of Tomcat, but from a different terminal does NOT do this! This would imply it is an IE config issue? Does anyone have any experience of this please?
Thanks Paul. where my session was being invalidated OK, Thanks for that. An interesting note however..after some testing, the session is not killed when run from another terminal i.e running the same instance of TC (same server) but from different terminals. That would suggest it is an IE configuration issue (at much annoyance to certain developers). I will at this stage bring this up on the user list! Thanks Paul. i had the same problem with internet explorer. mozilla seems to work properly. i tracked the problem down and found out that internet explorer looses the session cookie when closing the popup browser window. then i added <DefaultContext cookies="false" /> to my virtualhost definition in server.xml to disable the session-cookie mechanism. after that everything worked fine for me. remember to encode all urls with response.encodeURL(). jochen schwörer Wednesday, August 6, 2003, 6:00:57 AM, you wrote: PW> Dear all, PW> May someone enlighten me on why my session is being invalidated PW> when I close a browser window?
