#13 'remember me' cookie doesn't work after restarting server
I am trying to submit a new article with the text:
"The full version of <i>The Gompei Equation</i> has
been released.
For those who could not get a copy of the CD featuring
the game, the
executable file which runs the game can be obtained <a
href="http://lovecraft.gdc.wpi.edu/~darrent/GEFinal2.exe"
>here</a>.
For those who cannot run the executable (.exe) file on
their system can
download the Flash file itself <a
href="http://lovecraft.gdc.wpi.edu/~darrent/GEFinal2.swf"
>here</a> (and
run it on their system using the Flash Player)."
(with subject of ""The Gompei Equation" Released" and
author of "Darren
Torpey")
The first few lines of the exception trace are:
stacktrace

from a quick look at the code, it looks like it's failing on
session.getUser(). Do you use the "Remember Me" option? Try
logging out and then logging back in. Otherwise, I'm
inclined to file this as a support request, because other
people are able to post (I just tested it this morning). I
assume your inability to post is due to the server being
restarted and all of the old objects being received from the
database rather than the java objects that were in memory.

my hunch concerning the 'remember me' cookie was correct..
on second thought, however, this is still a bug- the
remember me cookie should be able to be handled somehow
(even deleted if necessary) after the server is restarted.
