Hi,
I will like to add here that getSession(true) does not create a new session
if a *Valid* session exists for the request.
If you want to know if the session created is new or not you can use the API
function
HttpSession.isNew() which returns a boolean. (API for more details)
If you are using the session object to store an Attribute and then forward
to some other servlet on the first request(i.e. the session is new see spec
2.2 sec 7.2) then this philosophy will fail. For passing the request to
another servlet you can use the method HttpServletRequest.setAttribute.
If this is not the case then u need to explore why is the session not being
returned by the client.(it might be that the client does not accept cookies)
If on the subsequent requests, the container does not receive the session
id, it will create a new session id for you. May be ur client does not
handle Cookies. Try the method HttpServletResponse.encodeURL on all the
links to the next servlet. This might solve ur problem, if it is due to the
client.
regds,
Gokul
