Is this a Tomcat problem? Someone please point me in the right direction to solve this problem...
I am part of a large team working on a java project with Tomcat. We are using jdk1.3.1 and Tomcat 4.1.18. The problem is that the latest build of our application has a problem on my machine. I've tracked it down to what seems like a problem with the session. When code that retreives information from the session is executed, it is not giving a valid result back. The part that I am having problem with is that it is a problem only on my machine. In fact if I hit the Tomcat server on my machine from another machine on the network, then everything works fine as well. The same is true if I hit the Tomcat server on my machine from a virtual machine running also on my machine. It is only when I run the application itself on my machine. I did just check one other thing. That is I started IE on my machine but hit the tomcat server on another physical machine. This time the application worked fine on my machine. This is all very confusing, and I am at a loss to explain what is is on my machine or my tomcat server that is causing a problem. I've compared the different machine configuration (they are all pretty similar). The Internet Explore options on all the machines are identical. I would apreciate any ideas someone might have to offer. Thanks, -- Sanjay - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
JSESSIONID problem.
Thanks. I have changed the subject because it better reflects the problem after some analysis. Thanks to Papillon for suggesting to use burp proxy. However, now I am at a loss to explain the behaviour after analyzing the log from burp proxy. When I run IE on my box and target TomCat on my box, and I click on a link in my app which launches another window, the http header is: == http://schughpc:8080 [10.32.2.41] == GET /Workplace/FormServlet?cmd=blankcontext=form HTTP/1.0 Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, application/x-shockwave-flash, */* Referer: http://localhost:8080/Workplace/properties/DocumentForm.jsp?policyObject StoreName=eFormsobjectStoreName=eFormsvsId=%7B0A1D7877-B64B-4927-B698- 9642C6DB6B60%7DwindowId=56657policyId=%7B14CBF1E8-606C-4D7F-AE88-54033 5681DD7%7DreturnUrl=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2FWorkplace%2FWcmBrow se.jsp%3FwindowId%3DmainWindowid=%7B8121190B-BF94-454D-92EB-2262A3FD71D E%7D Accept-Language: en-us Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Host: schughpc:8080 == Here you can see the JSESSIONID cookie is missing when it was present in all the headers grabbed by burp proxy prior to this one.

RE: JSESSIONID problem. SP.AM
Well, yes you are correct. Currently I have to use windows 2000 in vmware for the second machine. But we have done the same thing with windows xp on another developers machine hitting my tomcat, and that works fine. His IE settings are the same as mine as well. I've tried setting all the security settings on my IE to the lowest and told it to accedpt all cookies, and still it does not work. What I don't understand is when the new child popup window is opened by clicking on the link (it uses window.open()), why do I loose the cookie? And why does this only happen on my machine, and on no other developer, that have the same OS and software. -- Sanjay -Original Message- From: Papillon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 5:42 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: JSESSIONID problem. SP.AM You say both IE are sames but you seems to have two differents OS windows XP(server 2003 ?) and windows 2000 You've a lot security problems with XP so with cookies too. Try to set the security very low, accept all type of cookies temporaly to be sure it's not a security's windows problem...
