Session isNew() always returns true??

[John Thorhauer <jt...@phoenixcolor.com>]

I am trying to do some work with sessions and I am trying to make sure
that the session is established with isNew() but it always returns
true.  In my case the session should not be new because I put data in
the session and was able to retrieve the data from within in the same
servlet but the isNew() call always returns true.  Any ideas??

Here is a snippet of code
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HttpSession TestSession = request.getSession(true);
TestSession.setAttribute("testing","this is a test"); 
System.out.println("id=" +TestSession.getId()) ;

HttpSession TestSession2 = request.getSession(true);
System.out.println("isNew=" +TestSession2.isNew()) ;
System.out.println("id=" +TestSession2.getId()) ;   
System.out.println("attribute testing = " + 
TestSession2.getAttribute("testing") );   
------------------------------------------------------------

here is the output of the code
------------------------------------------------------
id=To1010mC5245131899080997At
isNew=true
id=To1010mC5245131899080997At
attribute testing = this is a test 
---------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
John
