Hi,
we've encountered a strange problem using Struts (nightly build) under
Tomcat 3.2.1.
The situation (test case):
we do have three Actions: A1, A2 and A3.
A1 inserts an object in the session-context under a wellknown key and
forwards to A2.
A2 reads the object from the session-context and forwards to A3.
A3 reads the object again and forwards to a JSP.
Simple enough.
The strange part occurs, when Tomcat is started up and this chain is
executed for the first
time.
What happens is: A1 and A2 works as expected but when executing A3 the
session id has changed.
(This happens most of the time under the described circumstances.
A few times it works as expected).
The same scenario works perfectly well under Tomact 4.0 b1.
It seems to be rather a Tomcat 3.2.1 then a Struts problem ?
I'm placing the major parts of he test case at the end of this mail.
Any help is appreciate,
Best regards, fm
