session lost in client machine

[Alan Yap]

when I did a session.setAttribute("A","123") on one page and tried to access it via session.getAttribute("A") in another jsp page, it returned a null value.

This happens only in client machine (for eg. http://clientPC:8080/myApp) but not in the machine where I've installed Resin in.

Is there any setting or misconfiguration in the client machine that caused this error?

Use the isNew() method to find out if the session was lost in the first place. Also check if your browser supports cookies.

Haven't tried isNew yet but browser used is IE6 and I've tried various "privacy" settings until the lowest (means accept all cookies).

This is the very first time I've encountered such problem after deploying my apps in previous customer's LAN. Really mind boggling indeed.

no problem with application scope variables though.
