Make sure cookies are enabled. If they are:

There are two options (1) that it is indeed the same session and that there is a huge Tomcat bug (2) that these are two separate sessions but that you are somehow mixing the data - local bug.

To determine which is it, you could do a toString() on the session and print it to the page. If the strings differ, tomcat is doing fine and you should check where you mix the variables.

Hi,
I am struggeling with securing my pages where private data needs to be read from a table.
I am using JSP in Tomcat5.5.23 btw. (which is hosted at eatj.com)

If I login on my page with 2 different userID's, from 2 different computers (but sharing a Internet connection..!!!) I will suddenly see data from the other userID, which is pretty sensitive (financial information)

When a user logs in, I am setting the userID and the table to use with
session.setAttribute("username"rs.getString(1));
session.setAttribute("tablename"rs.getString(3));

then when I need to query the database, I use
session.getAttribute("tablename");

I have put <%=session.getId()%> in the head,
and I see the ID appearing, but suddenly changes when navigating between pages... :-(

I hope this makes sense and that someone can help me...
I only found an old bug re duplicateID's, but that was in 2005...

cheers
Sascha
