    Session management in JBOSS 3.0.2 with Jetty

    dtlseepz

      Hi All,

      I had posted this problem in Beginer forum but later realized that this will be a better place.

      I am facing a typical problem(as seen in previous postings) of session management in JBoss3.0.2 with Jetty

      It create a new session for every servlet in my context and the information stored by the previous servlet is totally lost. Any suggestion or pointers would be highly appreciated.

      I did look at some postings in this forum but they are not very clear. I feel this must be a default implementation hence not covered in detail in the Quick Start pdf guide.

      I am not trying to use distributed sessions.

      thanks in advance.

          Do you mean that you wish to preserve session contents across restarts of JBoss ? or something different ?

            Hi Jules,
            Thanx for ur concern.. Actually I want the session to
            be active accross all the servlets in my webapp...
            I just want the session info to be available to me when I move from one servlet to another...

            I am not trying to preserve session contents across restarts of JBoss ...

            thanks again.

              I don't whether me reply made it - so :

              Sessions are scoped within a context/webapp.

              To declare that all your servlets shuold be able to see the same session package the, all in the same war/webapp.

                Hi Jules,
                Yeah, all the servlets are in the same .war file.
                See I just want my session to remain when I move from
                one servlet to another within same webapp.

                These things are pretty simple in WebLogic, Tomcat etc. I don't know what's the problem here... Is there any setting to be done in jetty or some file in jboss to enable the session....??

                Thanx again,
                DTL

                  It should work.

                  Are you sure it doesn't.

                  Have you got something that works in Tomcat and doesn't in Jetty ?

                  Please describe the exact steps to replicate your problem.

                    Hi Jules,

                    The following is the explanation of my code.

                    1) Browser displays the login.jsp which has accepts User Id & Password.
                    2) On click of Submit, the control goes to the LoginControllerServlet?action=validate which validates the user id & password entered by the user. Currently, in this code, the User is hardcoded as "ABC".
                    3) The LoginControllerServlet forward the controls to the ManageForumServlet?action=listAllForums which in turn displays the DisplayForums.jsp which shows some hyperlinked names. i.e.
                    JBoss 3.0.2
                    4) On click of hyperlink, the control again goes to the ManageForumServlet?action=listAllTopics which displays the DisplayTopics.jsp

                    The session works fine till point 3. But when we click on hyperlink (i.e executing step 4), the session object appears as null.

                    The same code works fine under Tomcat 3.2.4.

                    Please help. Thanks for your co-operation.

                    The following is my code.

                      Hi,

                      Did you come up with a solution? I have the same problem. This is ridiculous. This is one of most basic features a servlet container should have.
