> I am currently developing some server side JSP code. By and large, things
> are progressing and working well. I have gotten half way decent at debugging
> my java/javascript/jquery/jsp/HTML source code, but I have run into a
> problem in JSP where the code does not work, but I have found no clues as to
> why it is not working.
>
> The environment that I am working in is Tomcat 7.0.54 and I am using java
> 1.8 and jquery 1.7.2.
>
> What I am trying to do:
>
> I have html code with an embedded javascript that runs jquery code. The
> jquery code being run makes an ajax call to a JSP file on the server side,
> which I will call s.jsp. This file is a very simple file whose sole function
> is to take a registration name and query an SQL database to see if the name
> has already been used at the web site. The registration name is passed with
> a method call that looks like this:
>
> regName = request.getParameter("registrationName"); [item 1]
>
> This all works fine for me. So far so good. If the registration name is
> good, the state of my application logic changes. I guess there are multiple
> ways to store state, but I have chosen to store the state as a session
> variable. I searched the net and found an example of JSP code that uses the
> session object to store information as an attribute with a statement that
> looks something like:
>
> session.setAttribute("logicState","nameValidated"); [item 2]
>
> I tried adding this line and when I now push the submit button of my HTML
> form, which calls s.jsp as an action, the application hangs (in firefox). I
> receive no error messages anywhere. Usually, when I add bad code in s.jsp I
> will get a stacktrace from firefox or error messages in the firefox debug
> console, or both. Or I will error message in my own homegrown debug code,
> but that does not happen. I know that my home grown code does not get
> called, so I can infer that the call to s.jsp is never made, but I cannot be
> 100% certain of this. I also checked my tomcat/logs directory and there was
> nothing in the log files that I would not expect.
>
> So my first question is: Can I simply add item 2, above, to my jsp file and
> expect that tomcat will recognize that I am referencing the session object?
> In s.jsp, item 1, above, references the request object and tomcat handles
> that and I am expecting that it will also hand my reference to the session
> object.
>
> My second question is more general. My code is not working and there are no
> error messages. Can anyone speculate why this would be the case? Is there
> any place else I should be looking for error messages?

1. Is this reproducible if you restart Tomcat?
2. Is there anything in your access log? Was your request received by Tomcat?
