I've got a different problem.
I have a method called getHttpSession(request, response), as below:
HttpSession getHttpSession(HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response)
{
HttpSession session = req.getSession(false);
if ( session==null)
{
System.out.println("session = null";
}
else
{
.....................
}
return session;
}
which returns an HttpSesion, this method is in BaseServlet, then I create a
new servelt called Login which extend from BaseServlet, this method was
invoked in Login servlet.
When I run the Login servlet, in IE, sometimes I get session=null, and I
also get some error message said "the instruction in address xxxxxxxxxx is
not correct", or something like that, sometimes I can get correct session,
but in Netscape, I never get session=null.
Did you try your servlet both on IE and Netscape? If so, do they come with
different result?
