Hi,

I am trying to assign a new session id after user login by calling session.invalidate() method.

In JAVA_HOME/conf/context.xml as following:

<Context sessionCookiePath="/">
</Context>

The above configuration doesn't re-new session id when session.invalidate() is called in the Servlet.

If remove sessionCookiePath="/" in in JAVA_HOME/conf/context.xml as following:

<Context>
</Context>

By calling session.invalidate() method, a new session id will be assigned.

Is there a workaround or missing configuration.

Thanks
