JSP to Servlet Loosing Session Info
I noticed some posts about people having problems loosing the session information when using JSPs with servlets. For examples if I did the following in a JSP: when MyServlet got control, the Session was empty. I found out that if I did this the "right way" and defined the servlet in my web.xml, e.g., theServlet com.mycom.MyServlet theServlet someServlet and in the JSP said: then all worked fine. You may have to adjust the path a bit depending upon where your JSP is, etc. The Tomcat mapping trace can help you debug mapping problems. Apparently there is some encoding function which can be applied to make the FORM reference work, but I don't know what it is (anyone know?). Frank Lawlor Athens Group, Inc.

This seems like it is a Tomcat bug, but the above is not only a workaround, but a more maintainable way of doing things. Frank Lawlor Athens Group, Inc.
