That's my problem exactly. I don't think that it makes any sense either. The only explanation seems to be that the container based authentication in Tomcat 4.1 has been implemented without session persistence in mind. I'm afraid I will have to change to application based authentication after all. Thank you for your help and time, anyway.

Oh! I get it. Your session is still around, but you're being challenged for your username and password again. Have you tried checking to see if your session still has the String after a re-login? It's possible that you'll still have the same session, but you'll just have to re-login. Does that make any sense? > But I'm still a little perplexed that so much effort is necessary.

Did your setup behave differently? I never did anything like this. I suspect that Tomcat loses its authentication mappings on a restart. I also suspect that your session will still be full even if you have to re-login. -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
