There could be two things going on here at the same time. First, check your
server configuration and see what it has set for the session timeout for
servlets. The default is usually 30 minutes. So if you waited "almost half
an hour", you may not have waited quite long enough for the server to have
removed your session data. Try your experiment again, making sure you wait
longer than the server's session timeout value (if you can, try setting it
really short, like five minutes, for the purposes of testing; that way you
won't have to sit around for half an hour. Just remember to set it back up
for production.)
The reason why you don't see the problem with other versions of Netscape
could indeed by a browser bug in the 4.73 version. I'm guessing here, but
probably the cookies used for session tracking are set to be deleted upon
browser shutdown. So when you use the other versions, and you quit and
restart the browser, the session cookie is no longer there, so the server
gives you a new session. In 4.73, if the cookie persists, quiting the
browser and starting it again will still enable it to serve the same cookie.
And, again, if you do that within the 30 minute session timeout, the data is
still there on the server.

Subject: Session persistance under Netscape 4.73
I have a serlet/jsp application running under Resin 1.1.3 and 1.2. When I
use Netscape Communicator 4.73 to access my application, the cookie that
holds Resin's session information seems to persist even after shutting the
browser down. I have shut down the browser and waited almost half and hour
and the exact same session (with all session data intact) is servered when I
return to the site. I do not have any other Netscape windows open
(including mail). This doesn't happen under Netscape Navigator 4.0x and
doesn't even happen under Communicator 4.63. This really looks like a
Netscape issue and not something specific to Resin... Has anyone else come
across this? Does anyone have a solution??
Thanks, Donald
