Two possibilities come to mind.
If the browser you're using doesn't support cookies, then you're creating a
new
session each time.
The servlet container may be creating a new session each time just because
you
used "true" in getSession(), even though it is only supposed to create a new
session
if there isn't an existing one. That could be a bug in the servlet
container, or
there may be some other configuration problem with the servlet container
that prevents
it from saving sessions.
You might want to call getSession() instead of getSession(true) to see if
the container
found an existing session when it was supposed to.

Subject: session maximum inactive interval
Hi members,
I am using a HTTPSession object running with cookies.
I am setting the session maximum inactive interval to 1 hour by using the
following code:
session=req.getSession(true);
session.setMaxInactiveInterval(3600);
JAVA servlet API:
public void setMaxInactiveInterval(int interval)
Specifies the time, in seconds, between client requests before the
servlet container will invalidate this session. A
negative time indicates the session should never timeout.
Parameters:
interval - An integer specifying the number of seconds
But when testing the session only stays alive for a couple of seconds: the
maximum I achieved was 9 sec??
and the alive time is not always the same.
Does anybody know more about this and can help me?
Axel, Lannion/France
