This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
I have a very simple JSP page that checks to see if the user is accessing the page from the context of a session and prints a message indicating that a session has been found. But I would think when I access the JSP from a new broswer that the session should not be found, but it is. HttpSession session = request.getSession( false); if( session == null){ print(No session found) else { print(Found session!) } The session should not be found on the first time accessing the page since no session was ever created. Anyone? thanks SAF [This message has been edited by SAFROLE YUTANI (edited November 16, 2001).]

The JSP engine will create a session for the JSP. That's why session is one of the implicit objects found in the JSP. It is in Servlets that the method request.getSession(boolean) is useful.

I understand that. I know the implicit "session" object exists, but the problem with this is that the JSP will create a new session for you even if the client accesses the JSP without a session. I need explicit control over the session for my application, and I just determined how to do it... Add this directive to the JSP and the implicit session object disappears... <%@ page session="false" %> SAF
