Craig,
T H A N K Y O U V E R Y M U C H ! ! !
I have spent the last 4 hours trying to figure out what was wrong with our
application. I would have asked sooner, but didn't want to sound like a
newbie to either Tomcat or Servlets. This is the first version of Tomcat
4.0 we tried, what luck huh? :) I eagerly await tonight's build!
And also thank you very much for Tomcat. It's just great and even on
windoze its better then most commercial application servers.
Jim

If you happened to try last night's nightly build of Tomcat 4 (dated
20010905), you just ran into a bug that was fixed today and will be fixed
in tonight's nightly build (20010906). Cookie-based sessions also work
just fine in nightly builds prior to 20010905, as well as in the beta-7
release.
