Hi everybody, i posted a few times earlier ... but now i hope that found the source of the error (till yet without solution). I am using a servlet which calls itself from the get to the post method. A user is identified via sesion (quite usual i think) When using tomcat via 8080 port everything works fine, but when using apache, tomcat looses the proper session (or gets a session for itself for the get and for the post). Any ideas? Cheers Hartwig
