I have a project which I am working on. It does not have any type of form login. It is just a merchant-type site.
When client hits the URL, the index.jsp calls a forward like so: <logic:forward name="welcome" /> This of course sends the request to the struts-config.do. I extended the RequestProcessor to set up some session type beans that control the site. I only create the beans if the session.isNew() returns true. In the RequestProcessor, I can see the beans being created and set into the session. Finally the request is forward to a .jsp page from the original "welcome.do" call. On the jsp page, I have some tags, with links. Since I am using tags, I just used some normal html style links. Not html:link calls. When a user requests hits a link, and calls another xxx.do, the request goes back to the RequestProcessor, and it thinks the session.isNew(), and I end up creating all the session beans again. After that it works as it should, but I end up with 2 (jsessionid) cookies being created for each user? I am seeking advice, as to why this occured, and if this is normal behavior, or not-normal behavior. Upon researching the topic over the weekend, I was unable to find any threads, about this. Am I doing something wrong, or possibly a logic-flaw somewhere. Thanks, <user@struts.apache.org>
