We thought that the data from the session was being lost, but actually the session itself is recreated with a new ID every time we go from one jsp to the next one. I thought that tomcat manages the sessions through cookies so I do not see how my session id and data is being lost. By the way my project was working perfectly with tomcat 1.3 but when I upgraded to tomcat 5 is when the session problem started.

We always use the request object to get access to the session both in the servlet and the JSP (We don't use any specialized JSP tags to do this. We always use putAttribute to put a Serializable object on the session in the servlet. We always use getAttribute to retreive the object from the session in the JSP. The object must be Serializable. Hope this helps in some way... >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01-13-2005 11:49 >>> Hello everyone, I am using apache2, tomcat5.5, and jk2. I have configured my tomcat to run from my user home directories. Also I have configure apache to run with tomcat with jk2 through my home directories as well. Now, I am facing two problems that are driving me crazy, here they are in order of importance given that I have to have two project up by tomorrow and they do not work because of these issues, please help!!! 1) JPS sessions are working through tomcat root but not from my homedirs. There is an example called carts under the jsp-examples in tomcat root and it works great in there. When I tried to run this same example inside my home directoy it does not work. UseBean drops previously created instances of a bean. So when a new jsp tries to read parameters being passed from a previous jsp, everything is null because the session is re-created and not re-used. Please someone tell me what is going on. My real project uses jsp session and it is not working because all the values are reading null!! 2) the servlets work from tomcat port 8080 through my homedirs, but through apache. JSP work through apache though. Example) The following works fine: http://myserver:8080/~ccasas/servlet/hello <http://sp:8080/~ccasas/servlet/hello> but I cannot make the following work: http://myserver/~ccasas/servlet/hello I would really appreciate your help on this, I am already going nuts. <!--Claudia Casas--> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
