ok,
so it WAS the encodeURL issue...the session was evaporating because the URL
was not encoded.
but this begs another question, why dont URLs get autmatically encoded
during an action..
for instance I have a "goto" action, and I want to just have the url get
encoded automatically on any url I pass to it without having to put the
response encode in the JSP page.
<action path="/goto"
type="com.noi.webapp.contextuon.action.GotoAction"
name="goto">
<forward name="login" path="/login.jsp"/>
<forward name="home" path="/home.jsp"/>
<forward name="contextmgr" path="/contextmgr.jsp"/>
<forward name="createcontext" path="/createcontext.jsp"/>
</action>
<a href="go.do?forward=contextmgr">goto context manager</a>
what would I have to add to my action class to accomplish this?
public class GotoAction extends Action {
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
// Extract attributes we will need
String ls_forward = request.getParameter("forward");
Locale locale = getLocale(request);
MessageResources messages = getResources();
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
if (session != null)
{
UserMgr user = (UserMgr)session.getAttribute("UsrMgr");
}
else
System.out.println("session not found");
// Forward control to the specified success URI
return (mapping.findForward(ls_forward));
}
}
I guess I could write a custom tag but that seems like overkill....

Hello!
Do you have cookies enabled?
If not, the session might get lost because you don't append the session id
to the URL in your forward-statement.
I think it should look like this:
<jsp:forward page='<%= response.encodeURL("logon.jsp") %>' />
Tell me if it works. I'm working on a similar problem.
