Actually the previous suggestions didn't fix it. I've finally sussed it. Because we're still in development, we've been fairly cavalier about how we've been calling the initial servlet (as localhost/servlet, hostname/servlet and by IP address/servlet) and some of the links within the application have been using a mixture of IP addresses and hostname). It appears that Tomcat is creating a seperate session based on the "host" portion of the URL that its being passed. So when we called the servlet initially using, for example, http://123.123.123.123/servlet and loaded the session data, a subsequent call to http://hostname/servlet created a new session - hence the appearance of sessions going out of sync. Now we've standardised and everything is working as expected. Is this a known behaviour or is there something we can do through config to get around this problem?
