I'm running Tomcat 4.1.27 standalone on Windows XP Pro using IE. I've been developing my first web application in JSP with some success--then I decided to converted it into servlets. [sigh...]
I tried following the examples in Dustin Callaway's INSIDE SERVLETS, Second Edition. The structure he proposes for the servlet is simple enough (detail omitted): 1. session = request.getSession(true); 2. if (session.isNew()), then output an HTML page. In this case, the page contains a form with my servlet as the ACTION destination. 3. Else (i.e., if not isNew()), process whatever the form returned. My problem is that if I print session, then I find that everytime I enter the servlet, I have a different session. If I print the result of getRequestedSessionId(), it's differnt too. Also, I've tried doing a session.setAttribute(), but it's always null on the return to the servlet. This all implies that I'm constantly getting a different session object. getMaxInactiveInterval() = 1800, so the session isn't being artificially invalidated by a ultra-short timeout. Any suggestions? Merrill Cornish --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
