The two bugs come from essentially the same problem, that is "cooki management" and
different bahavious of browsers in treating cookies in a redirection case, and we
know that the session management requires the use of cookies (at lease in my
program). I promptly did a simple testing using "lynx" to verify my claims. in my
test case, I request the 1st page served by servlet 1, and servet 1 actually
redirect lynx client to servlet 2. But, servlet 1 will build a session using the
following code:
session = request.getSession(true);
session.putValue("xxx", "yyyyy");
right after that, response object do a redirect.
What lynx client gets is this: before the redirect happens but after servlet 1
creates a session object, lynx prompts and ask if the cookie (of the form
"JServSessionId=xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx") is allowed.
Now answer your question: do I use a fully qualified URL with absolute host,
protocal, port, path. Yes.
thanks for the response and regards,
