I am using a simple app to test session replication and failover on CF8. When using Chrome, FireFox, or Safari everything works correctly. However IE8 fails on every call to recognize it has a session (see more details below the code clips)
The testing application was downloaded from http://www.talkingtree.com/downloads/index.cfm?item=session_test.zip Reduced to itâs most simple form it has an Application.cfm file that consists of this: <CFAPPLICATION name="j2ee_session_replication_test" sessionmanagement="Yes" clientmanagement="No" setdomaincookies="Yes" > <cfscript> System = createObject("java","java.lang.System"); JRun = createObject("java","jrunx.kernel.JRun"); </cfscript> And an index.cfm page that has this code: <cfscript> session.currentTimestamp = timeformat(now(),"HH:mm:ss"); message = "[#session.currentTimestamp#] [#JRun.getServerName()#] [New Session: #session.isnew()#] [id: #session.sessionid#]"; System.out.println(message); WriteOutput(message); </cfscript> <br><br>System.out has written the above data to the console of the active jrun server <br><br><a href="index.cfm">Refresh</a> | <a href="cgi.cfm">CGI</a> | <a href="sessionData.cfm"><cfif not isdefined("session.myData")>Create<cfelse>View</cfif> nested structure</a> <br><br> <CFIF not isDefined("session.session_lock_init_time")> <CFLOCK scope="SESSION" type="EXCLUSIVE" timeout="30"> <cfset session.session_lock_init_time = timeformat(now(),"HH:mm:ss")> <cfset session.session_lock_init_servername = JRun.getServerName()> </CFLOCK> </CFIF> <CFIF session.session_lock_init_servername neq JRun.getServerName()> <CFSET session.session_failedOver_to = JRun.getServerName()> <br><br> <strong><font color="red"> Session has failed over <BR>from <cfoutput>#session.session_lock_init_servername# <BR>to #JRun.getServerName()#</cfoutput> </font></strong><br><br> <CFELSEIF isDefined("session.session_failedOver_to")> <br><br><strong><font color="green"> Session has been recovered to original server after a failover to <cfoutput>#session.session_failedOver_to#</cfoutput> </font></strong><br><br> </CFIF> <CFDUMP var="#session#" label="CONTENTS OF SESSION STRUCTURE"> IE8 fails to recognize it has a session It is setting cookies⦠however it is setting 2 jsessionid cookies (I am guessing one is upper case and one is lower case). However the IE jsessionid cookies are only 20 chars long and do not resemble the session.sessionid value (other browsers get a jsessionid cookie that is 38 chars and is the same as the session.sessionid value). Also if I delete the jsessionid (programmatically or in the browser settings) and close the browser, then hit the page again I am getting the same value back (previous jsessionid vlue) for the jsessionid in IE only. I have checked the IE settings the security setting is the lowest possible. This seems really strangeâ¦. It works on a non-clustered server. I have also taken our load balancer out and am hitting only one physical web server but it still fails in IE. Here is a link to the test page http://eoetb.akc.org/sessiontest/session_test/index.cfm .
