Environment:  Tomcat 5.5.17 using http connector, Servlet API 2.4.

Hi All,

I'm not sure where to go from here, so I'm going to assume it's a Catalina
issue and go from there.

I was working on a front controller that wouldn't instantiate a session
unless absolutely necessary - (for scalability reasons)  --   To my dismay,
I was seeing a session created anyway.

After some debugging, I came across the source of my problem:

The following JSP will generate a session token:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %>
<html>
        <head>
                <title>Example</title>
        </head>
        <body>
                <h1>Sample Form</h1>
        </body>
</html>


Here's the relevant stack trace.


        RequestFacade.getSession(boolean) line: 822     
        
ApplicationHttpRequest(HttpServletRequestWrapper).getSession(boolean) line:
215     
        ApplicationHttpRequest.getSession(boolean) line: 544    
        ApplicationHttpRequest.getSession() line: 493   
        PageContextImpl._initialize(Servlet, ServletRequest,
ServletResponse, String, boolean, int, boolean) line: 148       
        PageContextImpl.initialize(Servlet, ServletRequest, ServletResponse,
String, boolean, int, boolean) line: 123        
        JspFactoryImpl.internalGetPageContext(Servlet, ServletRequest,
ServletResponse, String, boolean, int, boolean) line: 104       
        JspFactoryImpl.getPageContext(Servlet, ServletRequest,
ServletResponse, String, boolean, int, boolean) line: 61        
        Example.jsp line: not available 
        Example_jsp(HttpJspBase).service(HttpServletRequest,
HttpServletResponse) line: 97   
        Example_jsp(HttpServlet).service(ServletRequest, ServletResponse)
line: 802       
        JspServletWrapper.service(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse,
boolean) line: 332      

In this case, the boolean value for creating the session is true.


I got some raw source code (older tomcat) and the _jspService looked like
this:


      _jspxFactory = JspFactory.getDefaultFactory();
      response.setContentType("text/html");
      pageContext = _jspxFactory.getPageContext(this, request, response,
                        null, true, 8192, true);
      _jspx_page_context = pageContext;
      application = pageContext.getServletContext();
      config = pageContext.getServletConfig();
      session = pageContext.getSession();
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Is this really by design?  Bug?  Obviously, I'd rather not have a new
session created until I need it.

Is this situation submittable as a bug or am I misusing the library?

Thanks in advance!

                                                                -Mike
