Java session management

[secege]

It seems that session management for Java servlets does not work consistently.

 

It works for simple JSP pages in public_html:

 

    https://secege.heliohost.org/test.jsp

 

however, when the JSP page is part of a .war deployed application, it does not seem to work:

 

   http://secege.heliohost.org/HelioSecure/

 

(which runs index.jsp)

 

Both JSP pages contain this code:

 

<%

        out.print("Test: ");

        String test = (String) session.getAttribute("some");

        if (test != null) {

            out.println("from session: " + test + "<br>");

        }

        session.setAttribute("some", "A thing");

%>

 

Any help is appreciated.

Sessions are known to not work correctly in wars. If you dig through the history here on the forums, it’s been asked before. I believe only one person has ever gotten them to work reliably in a war file...I’d try to find it for you but I’m on mobile.
