For some reason IE sends a request twice. It was something I ran into as well, however, I never ran into an issue where session variables were unaccessible. So I have no idea what that could be.

I use POI to generate reports from a database. POI is used in a servlet, which serves the Excel sheet to a web-browser. Everything is fine for small sheets (several hundred to a few thousand rows). The result is just as expected. But when I try to do a bigger query (say, 7000 rows) IE behaves strangely: first a request is sent to the server to generate the Excel file. This file is downloaded (as it seems), but when the next page comes up in IE, showing Excel, the Excel program sends a second request to load the sheet. This time, the session information (included in a cookie) is "forgotten", and so the query does not work (does only work for logged in users, but without session information I can not determine the user). The same thing works without any problems on my Linux box using Galeon as a web browser (and Gnumeric or Open Office to view the Excel sheet). Has anyone on this list already experienced a similar problem?
