Hi,
I'm not sure to say this is bug in Tomcat4.x,
but I'm facing it with Tomcat4.x(all versions above 4).
My application is loaded in a parent window there user logs into application
and
in servlet I validate the user login info and keep so much information in
session
( say id is x)and a new page is supplied by server and loaded in the parent
window
and parent window opens another window(child) using JavaScript
that will hide all browser controls in child window (please look at the code
that is
in page loaded in parent window).
function show(){
childWindow1=window.open("myapp/userinfo.jsp?name=<%
=userName%>","child1","HEIGHT="+hit+",WIDTH="+wid+",top=0,left=
0,status=YES,scrollbars=YES");
}
Problem: The child window that is opened from parent is not "ALWAYS"
participating in the
parent session (id:x).
As I'm finding out the child window session as ( id:Y) in userinfo.jsp,
Actually
i would like to get the information that is stored in parent session (x).
"SOME TIMES both PARENT AND CHILD WINDOWS are participating in the SAME
SESSION but not always".
And I tried to pass the parent session id to a other page that loads in
child window
using querystring, even that is not worked out as HttpServletContext can't
give
the HttpSession object using session id. Servlet 2.3 spec returns null
object if we
access
HttpSession parentSession= sessionContext.getSession( anysessionid);
//here parentSession is null
// (*** TOMCAT4 servletAPI says the above method returns null and in
future
// this method will be removed ***).
Then the information that is stored in Parent window session (id: x) is
never get back.
Is it really bug in tomcat4.x other wise how come some times both windows
are participating
in same session?
Can any one jumped into this scenario with tomcat4.x ?
Many Thanks,
rayaku
