Hi Johan

Two JSESSIONID values does look odd. I've seen problems like this when another server running a Java J2EE servlet container incorrectly had its JSESSIONID cookie scope set to the whole domain, rather than scoped to the server and application. In my case it was a SAP web server, and the session ID value was readily recognisable, and quite different to Tomcat values.

That may also explain the Linux/Windows difference if your development boxes are on Windows and the production/test boxes are on Linux.

Regards

Ron

I here add some info from Firebug which may be significant.

'GET localhost:8080/wap-app/start.action':

CookieJSESSIONID=9726CDF4A527E3D98451140AB69EFA2C;
JSESSIONID=BEED739340DDD4370C85A9D12917692A

'GET localhost:8080/webdav/images/.../1px.gif':

Cookie    JSESSIONID=BEED739340DDD4370C85A9D12917692A

The issue now boils down to the following a bit strange thing. Any idea why
this happens ?


- request.getSession() returns an incorrect null on Linux, but on Windows
it's OK - under the following circumstances:

When using Firebug on Firefox I noted that a corporate common .css
references a 1-pixel gif which is not present and visible, hence there is a
'404 Not found' error for the 'GET
localhost:8080/webdav/images/.../1px.gif'. But the preceding 'GET
localhost:8080/wap-app/start.action' is fine.

In my myValve-class on Linux:

'GET localhost:8080/wap-app/start.action' => myValve.invoke() ...
request.getSession() returns a correct session object

'GET localhost:8080/webdav/images/.../1px.gif' => myValve.invoke() ...
request.getSession() and request.getSession(true) both returns null

Same code and same build, in my myValve-class on Windows:

Both GET => myValve.invoke() ... request.getSession() returns a correct
session object


The webapp is built with Struts2/Spring.

Both Linux and Windows uses Tomcat 6.0.20.


On Windows Java version 1.6.0_16 is used

On RedHat Linux Java version 1.6.0_13 is used

and..

The execution continues down to the bottom with
'getNext().invoke(req,resp)'

That's odd... request.getSession() should never return null. This method:

"
Returns the current session associated with this request, or if the
request does not have a session, creates one.

In the "log incorrect event" code, do you return from the valve, or do
you continue processing?

(2)

Are you storing the request object anywhere and perhaps using it after
it's been recycled?
