Tomcat looses session with IE5
Hello all:
I successfully deployed my application using tomcat
4.0.2 a few weeks ago and tested it on virtually every
browser i could get hold of. It works!
Todaye I was informed that one of my colleagues has
problems with session maintenance. The browser is IE
5.0 and sessions are just not maintained. I check it
myself and this is what i found.
The user can login using a userid and pwd. He is shown
a welcome page as soon as he logged in. Session
variables are good. Now, as soon as he clicks on some
other link, he is asked to login again. I am not sure
what the problem is. I checked the browser settings
and cookies are enabled. Can someone throw some light
on what the problems could be and how to resolve them?
Thanks
Prashanth

My best recommendation would be to set up a packet sniffer like ethereal and
watch the request sequence. You should be able to sort it out from that.

I tested the same for IE5, 5.5, 6 and netscape. the
problem is with a particular client and i was
wondering if anyone had prior experiences like this.

I have a session variable set w/ IE5 and I am not having a problem. It
holds the session nicely.

Here is one possible explanation.
If you are using SSL, and you do a re-direct, IE can generate an extra
request to "/". If this is a servlet that dumps the sessions, then you are
out of business.

Hello all:
I successfully deployed my application using tomcat
4.0.2 a few weeks ago and tested it on virtually every
browser i could get hold of. It works!
Todaye I was informed that one of my colleagues has
problems with session maintenance. The browser is IE
5.0 and sessions are just not maintained. I check it
myself and this is what i found.
The user can login using a userid and pwd. He is shown
a welcome page as soon as he logged in. Session
variables are good. Now, as soon as he clicks on some
other link, he is asked to login again. I am not sure
what the problem is. I checked the browser settings
and cookies are enabled. Can someone throw some light
on what the problems could be and how to resolve them?
Thanks
Prashanth
