Hi Christian, If I get your drift, one thing that you need to do sooner than later is separate between client side Java code such as applets and server-side, which is your JSP/Servlet. At any case, an Applet can't maintain a session if you leave your site. Whenever a page which holds an applet unloads, the applet gets unloaded too. Maintaining a session is done either by setting a cookie, and then you can the cookie's expiration date as need be, or by using URL-Rewriting, which maintains sessions only as long as the client hasn't left your site. stick to cookies, therefore. zm.

Hi all, I want to use an Applet for communication between the browser and the web-server. In the applet there should be a Thread that permanently tries to read from an ObjectInputStream. A Servlet sends via sendObject() Objects to all the client-applets. My problem: My session of the user might get lost. The applet is startet from an JSP which uses a session. Several attributes are bound to it. When the user visits another site of my webapp the session still has to be valid. I don't know how tomcat3.2 handles this fact. Is it enough that the applet communicates with the server that the session won't get lost? If not, how could I implement it? thx in advance Christian =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
