The key is to not put anything in your session. Actions are the obvious place to look for things being stuffed into the session (via request.getSession().get/setAttribute()), but you might have a filter that creates a session as part of what it does, or an action that has a session-scoped form in struts-config.xml.
If you want to only test for the existance of a session in your action, don't forget to call request.getSession(false) and then check the return for null. See the javadoc: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html#getSession(boolean) Also, if you have other webapps on the web server, they might be using sessions in their webapps, so anything you do in yours will be for naught. -ed On 12/6/05, Baker, Russ A <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It is Weblogic.
