I've got a test web app going in which I do not call request.getSession() in any servlets, jsps, tags, etc.. However, I do call request.getSession(false). To my surprise, the latter call returned a Session object; I had expected null.

Can anyone pls explain why a session was created for me w/o my ever having explicitly requested that one be created?

do you use Struts in your application, if so, struts automatically creat a locale attritue and store it into a session. why do not you try to print out all the session variables, and see what's inside that session?

Create an HttpSessionListener with a sessionCreated() method that dumps the stacktrace and whatever is in the Session.

JSPs, unless you specifically disable them with session="false" in the page directive will create a session for you automatically.

Ah, thanks. I forgot that if JSPs have an implicit reference to a session object, then a session object must have been created.
 
Mo-om! You're embarassing me! Can you just read a tiny ad like a normal person?
