Session Problems with Firefox
Hello,
I have some problems with session management when our application runsin
Firefox.
Basically, what happens is that after I set in the session some
attributes/beans which are needed down the application, I check in all JSPs
and servlets that an old session is still there by using
if (request.getSession(false)==null){
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("timeout.jsp"));
}
With IE all works fine, however with Firefox, it seems that the session is
re-initialised whenever the client/browser requests a new page. I checked
this by printing the session id in the log on each page and with IE it does
not change, while with Firefox it changes.
I checked my firefox settings for cookies and all look ok.
Anybody has a clue of what I might be doing wrong?
Regards,
Michael

RE: Session Problems with Firefox
Posted by Michael Andreas Omerou <ma...@simplexsoftware.com>.
Further to my below email I have put in some code to check the HTTP headers
in each case (IE and FireFox).
These are:
IE
accept: */*
accept-language: en-gb
accept-encoding: gzip, deflate
user-agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR
1.1.4322; InfoPath.1)
host: localhost
connection: Keep-Alive
cookie: JSESSIONID=D79835F3D70ADD58F4770DD15B463320
FireFox
host: localhost
user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.12)
Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7
accept:
text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=
0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
accept-language: en-gb,en;q=0.5
accept-encoding: gzip,deflate
accept-charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
keep-alive: 300
connection: keep-alive
cookie: JSESSIONID=A3893195B065989E5B03BC8681E4D0D6
cache-control: max-age=0
I wonder whether the keep-alive which exists in the case of FireFox but not
in the case of IE could be the cause of my problems.
