New Session in Img Src Servlet

[David Galimberti]

I am having problems with session managment for a servlet that is the src of an HTML img tag, for example:       <img src="/servlet/imageServlet">   Prior to using the servlet I created a session for the user but the servlet does not find one for the request (i.e. request.getSession(false) returns null).  If I access the servlet via a redirect I can get to the session just fine.   Does anyone know if there is something "special" about a request of a servlet that is the src of an img?   Thanks!   - David
