Re: [WebMacro-user] Session variable disappearing

[Nick S. <NSa...@ms...>]

Hi Tim

have you tried this on a variety of browsers?
If your browser is rejecting cookies and you're not url encoding your
links so that the server can use url rewriting then this would give the
impression of a disappearing session.

We have found this to be a problem with IIS fronting Tomcat and have to
remember to url encode all the links.

Hi, 

Been stuck for a little while on a disappearing session variable

In one servlet (derived from a copy of WMServlet) 
I put my User object in the session something like this:

void store(WebContext c, User myUser) {
   HttpSession s = c.getSession();
   c.setAttribute("u", myUser);
   System.err.println(s.getAttribute("u"));
}
which prints out a valid User object 

However in the next servlet called
   HttpSession s = c.getSession();
   System.err.println(s.getAttribute("u"));
prints null

Is this likely to be a Tomcat5 configuration issue or 
a webmacro issue, I am (fairly) sure now that it is not in my code. 

yours
timp
