We have an application that runs fine in general, but checking the custom logs, I see strange NullPointerExceptions every once in a while when the application is trying to get information from the session. Does anyone have any ideas why the session could be disappearing occasionally? (I'm using HttpServletRequest.getSession(false) on JWS1.1.3 on NT) It seems that something happens to the session in between the time that the request is received and the response is written, because the session exists when the request first comes in (we check it specifically to make sure the user has logged in). One possibility I'm wondering about is if it could be related to client-side timeouts. We have a horrible internet connection to access the application in Uruguay, and we end up having a lot of "Connection Reset By Peer" errors because the client's browser or proxy timeouts on us. Could this session problem be related at all? If the connection is cut, does that invalidate the session or anything? If the connection is cut, and the application tries to access data from the session before trying to write to the ServletOutputStream, would it be possible to get a NullPointerException instead of a Connection Reset By Peer message? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Paul Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> p.s.
