JsessionId not returned by Tomcat for Swing client

[ukin]

Hello,

We are developing a 3 tier application with Swing client and Jboss App Server 4.0.3SP1.

We want the JBoss server (Tomcat) to do session management as it does for web applications.

Now we have deployed the ear file containing the servlet, business and data access classes on the server.

The swing client uses HttpURLConnection to connect to the servlet and get the response.

But I find, the response header returned by the Tomcat does not contain, 'set-cookie' (that actually contains the JSessionId).

But i try to connect to the same servlet to get a web page and it works fine. That it the requested page comes back with JSessionId information.

Is there any way of making Jboss return the 'set-cookie' response header?

Any help/ clues would be appreciated.

Regards,
Umesh

The guess is that the swing application sends a JSESSIONID cookie in te request or that http client your are using is doesn't do HTTP 1.1.

Actually, i have tried using the applicaton with WebSphere App server and it works.
But while using WebSphere App server, i have used the struts framework. I have extended the ActionServlet provide by struts & the request is processed by this servlet.
So it required that my servlet extend the default servlet provided by Tomcat.
