http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31482 HttpSession loses attributes if cross context is set to true Summary: HttpSession loses attributes if cross context is set to true Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.0.28 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hallo, I am using Tomcat 5 to run two webapplications. For both contexts I set cross context to true. In one webapplication I put some attributes in the session and use a RequestDispatcher to pass the request to the other webapplication. There I need to get these attributes out of the session. This worked with Tomcat 4 but is not working any more with Tomcat 5. I looked in the source code and found the problem in the class org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationHttpRequest. There is the function HttpSession getSession(boolean create) that overrides the same function of the super class. In Tomcat 4 this function was not overriden an thats why you got the exact same session object that you had in the other context. In Tomcat 5 now there is in this function getSession(boolean create) a new session object created (line 503) that gets only the same session id as the original session of the other context. That means that this session has not my attributes any more which I had put in the session in the other context. For me it is unclear why this function is overriden in this way. I commented this function out and recompiled the class. Whith this it is working again. I think that should be fixed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
