Unable to retreive session in servlets

["Oke, Larry" <La...@Derwent.co.uk>]

I don't seem to expeience this problem under Windows.
When I send a HTTP POST to a servlet running under the latest Tomcat under
Solaris, I can't retrieve the current session using the method below

request.getSession( ) 

it always seem to create a new session.  



It works fine though if you use a JSP with the JSP tag :
useBean/scope=session, before forwarding to the servlet.
Is this a coding issue in my servlet or a bug of some sort with Tomcat?

Please help
