I'm a little confused about the creation of new sessions. I have a webapp running (Tomcat 5.0.19), and I can see from a SessionListener that the session is timed out - Session destroyed, all attributes removed. So far, so good. But when a subsequent request is made like the following excerpt from a JSP page:
<%= request.getSession(false)%>
I would have expected to get null as the response, instead I get a
non-null session object (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and the SessionListener reports that a new session was indeed created at the time of the JSP request.
So, it seems to me that a session is always created when the getSession() method is called regardless of the boolean parameter.
Can someone clarify for me?
Thanks!
