Hi,
Firstly, req is an instance of the request object.
The problem sounds like it is most likely a lack of session cookie support in
the browser. Is it wireless by any chance?
if it is, WAP doesn't have cookie support in the phone, it requires a gateway
with session cookie support.
To check to see if the session is working, use session.getId(), and compare it
between requests from the same browser.
If they are the same, and objects aren't getting stored in the pool, then
there is a big time bug. Try the latest servlet engine.
If they are different, try upgrading the browser (or gateway) to support
session cookies, or use url rewriting. I think the documentation has a small
section on url rewriting.
hopefully this is of help
