httpsession shared across requests getting Null always

[Prashant Upasani]

Servlet code:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException{
System.out.println(request.getAttribute("session"));
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
System.out.println("Now session is "+ session);
if (session == null) {
System.out.println("Session is null.. creating it again!");
  session = request.getSession(true);
}
System.out.println("New session object is "+session);
}

When I run this servlet first time, I get session as null and then session gets created which is perfect.
When I run the same servlet again (by refreshing the page on the same browser window) I should get session not null. Surprisingly I am getting it null always and then creating new session for every request.
Also, when I open the new instance of browser (using ctrl + N) I am getting session null in the code above.
I am using Tomcat 5.5.26 installed on Windows vista (internet explorer 7).

Thanks for all your help to solve this puzzle.
