How do you know that??

Sessions are maintained by container. They are resued by default. Unless and untill that particular session is closed abruptly by closing the browser instance(or)server crash, user is in the same session.

Hi Adeel,

I came to know by printing the session object.

It prints something like weblogic.blah.blah.blah@somenumber.
It prints differnt number if u refresh the browser.

Plz suggest.

Thanks,
Chandra

You can try getting the Session by method
request.getSession(false).

This will return you a session only if there is an existing session and null if not.

When you test that, do you have cookies enabled? If cookies are not enabled, the server will not be able to track session accross pages, unless you take special steps (URL rewriting et response.encodeUrl).

Is it a servlet or a jsp the one giving you troubles?
