I am using struts 1.2.7 with multiple modules on Tomcat 4. My JSP files are shared between the modules hence there is a pagePattern set on the controller - it is currently set to '$P'. I have left forwardPattern as default because I only forward to tiles or other actions, not directly to pages. I am using <bean:include page="/view/head.jsp"> to include a JSP file inside another. This finds the JSP ok but when that JSP is rendered it gets a new session, separate from the session the calling page is in. Specifying 'transaction="true"' appears to have no effect. If I set the forwardPattern on the controller to the same as the pagePattern - '$P' - the included JSP picks up the same session as the calling page. OK, but it breaks my forwarding to actions as the forwards are now not module-relative. So, Why does forwardPattern have any impact on whether a JSP included by bean:include shares the session with the calling page? What can I do about it, whilst leaving forwardpattern as default?
