Hi people, i'm experiencing a strange session behaviour in several of my projects running on Tomcat 5.5.12. When the page is being rendered inside servlet's doGet (or doPost, actually it doesn't matter), i call request.getSession(true) many times in order to get data, and at random times it suddenly returns null, eventhough by specification it MUST return a valid session. That, of course, crashes my application in random time intervals. Probably anybody has experienced the same and could help me solve this problem?? I'm totally confused with tomcat, because not a single forum has a post related to this. Here is some of my code:
// Servlet class public class IntranetServlet extends HttpServlet { // called from doGet && doPost public void syncGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) { ResourceManager resourceManager = new ResourceManager(this, request, response); VelocityEngine ve = ResourceManager.getTemplateEngine(); .... } } // Code which causes null to pop-up public class ResourceManager { private static HttpServlet servlet; private HttpServletRequest request; private HttpServletResponse response; public ResourceManager(HttpServlet aServlet, HttpServletRequest aRequest, HttpServletResponse aResponse) throws FileUploadException { servlet = aServlet; request = aRequest; response = aResponse; .... } public HttpSession getSession() { HttpSession session = request.getSession(true); // null, randomly System.out.println(session); return session; } it's just a standard session handling, nothing else. And there are no code that explicitly does anything else but session.set/get/removeAttribute on the session. i'll appreciate any help alot. vienzo -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tomcat%27s-getSession%28true%29-returning-null-t1405617.html#a3783393 Sent from the Tomcat - User forum at Nabble.com.
