I have a web application that uses applets and servlets. When I use getAppletContext().showDocument() to send a url to my servlet, the servlet cannot retireve the session information using session.getAttribute(). In fact, request.getSession(false) returns null.

This seems to be working properly on IIS, but when I try to configure Apache, it fails unless the client is running on the server.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Sean

I did it by passing the session id in as an applet parameter from the jsp:plugin page.

Ben,

Thank you for the suggestion. I believe that I am already doing exactly what you suggested though.

I did notice that when I try to access the web application running the client through IE directly on the web server, everything works fine. However, when I try to access from another host, I am getting an IE privacy report stating that the cookie was blocked. Also, I notice that the parameter "jsessionid=###" is in the url query. I have tried this from different hosts and am sure that the privacy settings on each host are setup to allow all cookies.

I think that my problem must have something to do with how I have setup Apache and JBoss on my web server. Are you aware of any server settings that I might need to modify?

Thank you,
Sean

In my code, I'm not using the cookie stored in the browser. I'm setting an applet init param with the value of the session ID. I then manually add the jsessionid to the request headers when I post from the applet to the servlet.

I am not aware of any Apache or JBoss settings.
Do you have cookies disabled in your browser?
