Firefox 'B' is a new window on the original Firefox 'A' (same application instance). As such they share the same session on your webapp. Your code should check to be sure the session is still valid (request.isRequestedSessionIdValid()).

On a design note, you should not be maintaining open connections in session. Open, do your business, and close them immediately within the life cycle of a single request. Pooling will take care of maintaining the connections for you.

Issue: Im running into problems with a tomcat based application that uses the JNDI connection pooling mechanism that ships with tomcat. It appears that my session bits are being kept 'alive' by any running instances of firefox even after the browser running my app is closed.

Situation: I have a session bean that handles the connection pool. Im handling several DBs in it so there are corresponding 'getConnection' for each. There are several web-apps in this installation that use this session bean (compiled into a .jar with some other common functions).

What happens: I run the app (in firefox) ('A'). All is well. I open another instance of firefox ('B'). I close the instance of firefox with the app. Browse a bit in the remaining instance. Then I run the app again('C'). I get exceptions from any attempt to get DB connection(s). Debugging information shows that the constructor in the .jar isn't being called as the second process is getting the session object (now 'stale') from Firefox ('B').

Question: is there some way to force the app to create a 'fresh' instance of a session object? Or am I highly confused on this issue?

Installation ver: tomcat 5.5.9 on Redhat Enterprise. Firefox 1.5
