2 or more sessions in tomcat
Hi, Can there be 2 or more sessions handled by tomcat server in IE 5.0 browser of a PC using its inbuilt session tracking property? I can see only one session being able to be handled till now. Whenever there are 2 sessions then the session values get interchanged between them. Thanks Rinku
Re: tomcat session problem
Hi, Limiting the sessions to one browser means I start a session in it and click on different jsp links to go to different pages, but I Do NOT open another window for any page. So, like this I have two sessions running at one time by logging into my program in two separate IE 5.0 windows. Which means, I open a browser, log in ones, and the session starts and then I open another browser and login and start another session. What I find is, when the 2 sessions are running in those 2 windows and when I click to different pages to open them in their respective windows then somehow the session value changes and start giving me interchanged pages or wrong session values. This is not happening in my local environment which means in the browser of the PC that has tomcat installed in it, but happens when I login into this website through internet connection from somewhere else and start sessions. I would really appreciate the suggestions Thanks Rinku - Original Message - From: "Dmitri Colebatch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 1:50 AM Subject: Re: tomcat session problem > On Fri, 26 Oct 2001, Dmitri Colebatch wrote: > > > On Thu, 25 Oct 2001, Rinku Randhawa wrote: > > > > > Thanks Ralph for the information, my question is when there are 2 sessions > > > running on the web in the same PC (by opening 2 browsers) then it doesn't > > > track the sessions properly and changes the value of the session when I go > > > to different pages even if I limit one session to one browser. > > > > When you say one browser what do you mean?

Re: tomcat session problem
Thanks Chintan, actually I heard from someone that tomcat server does not support sessions properly at times, so, I just wanted to clarify it. - Original Message - From: "Shah, Chintan V (Chintan)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 3:39 AM Subject: RE: tomcat session problem > Hi Rinku, > > Your application should work fine in both the browsers opened > simultaneously...only if the second browser window is not opened from the > first browser window using Ctrl+N > > If you are opening the 2nd browser window from 1st one only... as said > above, then the session object will be single and both of the browsers will > be interacting(i.e. reading, writing or get/set) with the single session > object...and in that case, it will not behave properly.. > > ya, but if you have opened two browser windows separately, then there will > be two different session objects for each of them, you must be able to work > on both of them simultaneously.. > > I hope, this will help you. > > regards, > Chintan. > > -Original Message- > From: Rinku Randhawa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 12:16 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: tomcat session problem > > > Hi there, > > I am using jakarta-tomcat - 3.2.3 server to run my project.

Re: tomcat session problem
Thanks Ralph for the information, my question is when there are 2 sessions running on the web in the same PC (by opening 2 browsers) then it doesn't track the sessions properly and changes the value of the session when I go to different pages even if I limit one session to one browser.

tomcat session problem
Hi there, I am using jakarta-tomcat - 3.2.3 server to run my project. I am finding that session tracking, when more than one browser window is opened at one time, doesn't come out to be correct. I am using its inbuilt session object and the cookies are enabled in my browser. When more than one sessions are running then the page presented is unpredictable.Sometimes correct page displays and sometimes totally diferent page gets displayed. It works great except if I have 2 browsers sessions up - then it gets confused and losses track of which is the current session. Are there any issues with the Tomcat server regarding session tracking? Thanks in advance, -Rinku
