To make sense of this behaviour, try to disable cookies first and see what happens.
you'll see the jsessionid always, and you'll have your desired behaviour (if you open a new window, you'll get another jsessionid as well) As soon as you enable cookies, the session will be round - it will stick, until the cookie is cleared again. regards, Martin On 3/23/06, Matthias Kahlau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > How did you open a new browser?
