Session Problems
Hi,
Tomcat is creating 2 different sessions when another browser
window is opened from a main window. For instance, i have an
application, in which the first jsp page sends a request to a servlet
which inturn places a session object using
request.getSession().putValue("name1","value1");
The servlet then dispatches the request to another jsp page, which
opens another jsp page in a new dependent window with the js call,
window.open("/sqlplus/ShowScript.jsp",'wmSelectBaseClass','depe
ndent=yes,width=700,height=380,left=210,top=240');
In ShowScript.jsp window, a new session is created thereby it is
not able to get access to name1 session object stored in the
original session.
I didn't find any such problems when using jswdk. As also it is not
related to browser as i tested it in both IE and Netscape.
Could anyone please help me out to ensure only one session is
created for all browser windows opened from the main window.
With Best Regards,
Byju P.Nair

Yes, shure.

I did exactly as mentioned below, but it is helping the issue. Having
suppressed the cookie usage, do i have to explicitly use URL
rewriting by using response.encodeURL(...) to encode the
sessionID?

See server.xml:
<!-- Session interceptor will extract the session id from cookies and
deal with URL rewriting ( by fixing the URL ). If you wish to
suppress the use of cookies for session identifiers, change the
"noCookies" attribute to "true"
-->
<RequestInterceptor
className="org.apache.tomcat.request.SessionInterceptor"
noCookies="true" />

Yes Simon, you are right. Since the browser has cookie enabled,
the above statement doesn't encode the sessionID into URL :-(

Does:
HttpServletResponse.encodeURL("/sqlplus/ShowScript.jsp")
help? This should encode the session id into the URL.
(But if the browser has cookies enabled maybe it wont)

Try to send the Request via the target-Attribute (A or FORM) to the new
Window, you can open a customized window with onclick.
Example:
<a onClick="getArticleWindow();"
href="blabla.jsp"
target="articleWindow">
link
</a>
var articleWindow = null;
function getArticleWindow()
{
if (!articleWindow || articleWindow.closed)
{
articleWindow = window.open("/void.html",
"articleWindow",
"status=0,toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=480");
}
if (articleWindow) articleWindow.focus();
}

btw, the putValue()-method is deprecated since servlet2.2
you should use setAttribute(String key, Object value) instead.
have a look at the javadoc.

Hi Byju,
i had played with this in Tomcat and got similar results.
i opened multiple browser windows without acknowledging the session.
after 4 windows , the browser started to send the cookie info to the
server( i cant explain this behavior. )
what i suggest is get the client to acknowledge the session joining before
doing some other processing on server side.
