tomcat + IIS

[Casey Hadden <Ca...@sas.com>]

Hi,

We're trying to get Tomcat and IIS setup in order to have a test server for that particular combination. I've followed the instructions from the web site for getting the two working together. I can get all the example JSPs provided by IIS to come up and give correct output. The login page of our product also is compiled and executed correctly. However, when the form on the first page is submitted the session id is getting changed, and we are consequently unable to use the product as we use that id to index into lists and the like.

We can replicate this outside of our product with a simple jsp that is:

<%
    out.println (session.getId ());
%>

Each time the page is refreshed/reloaded this gives a different id even though it is in the same browser instance.
Searching the archives brings up several similar queries, but no answers. Perhaps someone has since solved this problem?

All of this works correctly with Tomcat by itself, Tomcat (mod_jk)  + Apache, and JRun + Apache.

Information pertinent to our particular setup:

At this point, Tomcat and IIS are still running as separate processes and Tomcat has not been set up as a service. I wouldn't think that placing Tomcat in-process or as a service would have any affect on this, but if it will then I can try those methods and see.

We are attempting to run this on a Windows 2000 machine loaded with Tomcat 3.2.1 and IIS 5. I have also tried using Tomcat 3.2.2 beta4 with the same results.

Thanks.

Casey
