I think some where(may be in the action class association with the action /test.do) you are creating new session each time for each request. Most possible mistake could be using
Request.getSession(true); See below documentation from Servlet Specifications ********************************************************************************************************************************************** getSession() public HttpSession getSession() Returns the current session associated with this request, or if the request does not have a session, creates one. Returns: the HttpSession associated with this request See Also: getSession(boolean) getSession(boolean) public HttpSession getSession(boolean create) Returns the current HttpSession associated with this request or, if if there is no current session and create is true, returns a new session. If create is false and the request has no valid HttpSession, this method returns null. To make sure the session is properly maintained, you must call this method before the response is committed. If the container is using cookies to maintain session integrity and is asked to create a new session when the response is committed, an IllegalStateException is thrown. Parameters: <code>true</code> - to create a new session for this request if necessary; false to return null if there’s no current session Returns: the HttpSession associated with this request or null if create is false and the request has no valid session See Also: getSession() ********************************************************************************************************************************************** Chandra -----Original Message----- From: Chan Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 2:48 PM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Session without cookies Hi All, I have been searching for hours and still cannot find any useful info. Hope you can help. I am building a Struts app. (Struts 1.2.4 + Tomcat 5.5 + Apache 2.0.55 + Spring 1.2.6) and want to use session without enabling cookies. I use <html:link> to create links so ;jsessionid is appended to the end. Fine. The problem I have is every time I access a page, a new session id is created so essentially everything stored in session is lost. Here is some output from my test action, test.do: test.do ============================================= HttpSession session = request.getSession(); System.out.println("Is session new? " + session.isNew()); System.out.println("Session id: " + session.getId()); First access ============================================= Is session new? true Session id: B9F9E135DCBAC90AB2B5AEBCE901FAA5 Second access ============================================= Is sesssion new? false Session id: 8CCE7A388E76C0F56016E8F41E29E0E5 The session is not new but the id is different...I already set in Tomcat server.xml <Context path="/myApp" cookies="false"...> What am I missing?? Thanks in advance.
