Hi Alvaro,
request.getSession(false) will NOT work for you, it will return null (or
should according to the specs).
no matter if you are creating a new session object or getting an existing
one, use request.getSession(true).
Spec says that this will return either a new session of none exists for this
client session or an existing one if
the sessionid is valid.
Hope this helps
Andy Bailey
