I just gave it a quick try with one of my test servlets, and when using IE 6.0 I get a new Session object if I invoke the servlet from a different browser instance.
Make sure you actually start a new browser instance. If you start a new browser window (with Ctrl+N) or something like that you will get the same session as the parent window. BTW, I'm running Tomcat 4.0.1 Jose ----- Original Message ----- From: "Milt Epstein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 3:29 PM Subject: Re: Sessions problem -- not creating new session with IE borwsers > On Mon, 24 Nov 2003, Mike Silvers wrote: > > > All, > > > > We need to have a condition where a new servlet is being generated > > for each browser instance.
