Hello,
I have two web applications in different context, one servlet will forward
the request to a servlet in the other application using encodeRedirectURL
and sendRedirect. The receiving servlet creates a new session and session
attributes are lost.
Running Tomcat 5.5.17.
Here is the flow:
GET /App1/RedirectServlet HTTP/1.1
Cookie: JSESSIONID=7AFACD0318419C34938B6410BB9A1937
RedirectServlet
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("/App2/LaunchServlet"));
HTTP/1.x 302 Moved Temporarily
GET /App2/LaunchServlet HTTP/1.1
(no cookie)
HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=BE408BFD3480E29DF2A4278BCA3C1FC6; Path=/App2
The same behavior occurs in Firefox and IE. Cookies are enabled in both
browsers and crossContext="true" in context.xml. Is this a bug in Tomcat or
a problem with my method of redirect?
Thanks,
Greg
