The session are managed using the cookies. The cookie uses the Domain Name to see the rights to read or write them. If in Tomcat you have specified an host with full name (theServerName.theDomainName), it could be the reason. The cookie is created with the Domain Name "theDomainName" and the pages are accessed by a URL without Domain Name.
Hopes it helps you. -----Message d'origine----- De : Jeff Corliss [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoye : lundi 9 septembre 2002 22:54 A : Tomcat Users List Objet : Sessions problem with TC4 on Win XP Home when browsing from "localhost" Hi all, As if the subject line wasn't long enough... here's an interesting problem I'm hoping someone can help me with. Basically, I have a Struts-based app which I'm deploying on TC4 on a Win XP Home machine while developing. When I access the app via a browser on another machine on the network, all is fine. When I access the app from the machine on which tomcat is running (using localhost), it seems that sessions are constantly being re-created. So, every time I perform a login to my app (which saves an object in the session for "proof of login" etc.), the next page I hit that requires being logged in sends me right back to the login page (because the object is not in the session). The session now has another ID and "isNew". As I mentioned, very same app accessed from another machine works perfectly. Here is a quick undown of the environments: Localhost machine: Win XP Home, jdk=1.3.1_02, Tomcat=4.1.8 thru 4.1.10, Struts=1.1b1, Internet Explorer=6.0. Other machine: Win95, IE=5.0 I thought perhaps the problem was with IE 6, so I downloaded Mozilla 1.1 and tried the app that way with same result. Weird huh? Any ideas are greatly appreciated (including pointing out obvious errors on my part). -JC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
