Re: redirect and getSession(true).isNew()

[Zerbe John W]

Two things: 1) by default your login.jsp creates a new session unless you explicitly tell it not to. <%@ page language="java" session="false"  %> 2) you could try to get an Attribute from the session. If your particular attribute doesn't exist in the session, you can assume that it is "new". -----Original Message----- From: Peter Maas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 4:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: redirect and getSession(true).isNew() Hi,   it seems that a redirect automatically creates a new session, how can this be avoided? say I have the following setup:   login.jsp --> only thing it does is redirect to a servlet   what do I have to do to let the servlet know this is, or can be a new session?   gr,   P DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this e-mail may be confidential and is intended solely for the use of the named addressee.
