Re: New session on submit?

Session management is the responsibility of the servlet container. Are you sure that the session ID is being returned correctly? Struts definitely isn't doing anything to remove or invalidate the session for you.

You can tell Struts not to put a Locale in the session by specifying a "false" value for the "locale" attribute of the <controller> in your struts-config.xml I don't believe there is any place else where Struts will manipulate the session besides if you specify that forms should be in "session" scope.

But the only reason your container would make a new session is if it couldn't find the pre-existing one, which would usually happen if you were somehow failing to return a session ID back to the servlet container.

I am using the 1.2.4 release and am finding that when I submit a form to a
plain Action, a new HttpSession is automatically created and replacing the
session that I already am using. I have a simple search form where when the form is initially brought up, the
reset() function gets called and I see from my debug output:
10:47:05,645 INFO [STDOUT] SearchForm.reset()
10:47:05,645 INFO [STDOUT] ***** sessionBean
10:47:05,645 INFO [STDOUT] ***** org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE

Showing that my sessionBean is in the session.  Once I complete the form and
submit it, my debug log shows that a new session is created BEFORE the form
is even validated (using a listener I wrote):

10:47:14,603 ERROR [MySessionListener] sessionCreated: 2005-01-28
10:47:14,603 ERROR [MySessionListener] attributeAdded:
org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE
10:47:14,604 INFO  [RequestProcessor] ***** org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE
10:47:14,604 INFO  [STDOUT] SearchForm.reset()
10:47:14,604 INFO  [STDOUT] ***** org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE
10:47:14,605 INFO  [STDOUT] SearchForm.validate()
10:47:14,605 INFO  [STDOUT] ***** org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE

Here is my config:
<action
        path="/search"
        name="searchForm"
        scope="request"
        input="/jsp/search.jsp"
        validate="true"
        type="app.featuredbrands.action.SearchAction">
        <forward name="multiple" path="/jsp/searchResults.jsp"/>
        <forward name="single" path="/jsp/crud.jsp"/>
        <forward name="failure" path="/jsp/search.jsp"/>
</action>

Any ideas?

Thanks.


Brad, This is probably happening in the action class itself. Check for the session.invalidate or something similar. Just a thought.
