Session attributes get lost on Firefox

[Sandra Williams]

Hi,

I have a problem with storing session attribute on Firefox. I created a session and set two session attributes in it. But on the next web page, when I tried to retrieve the attributes, they returned null. This only happened on Firefox. IE works fine. Does anyone know how to solve the problem? Thanks a lot.

Do you have cookies enabled ?

[Gangadhar Reddy]

Enable cookies in firefox as follows:
Tools>Options>Privacy>Accept cookies from sites.

FYI, IE will not consider whether cookies are enabled or not, when you are accessing code on sessions from LOCALHOST.

So, jessionid will not come into URL, when you are accessing sessions from localhost.

Christophe Verre, any comments?

I did enable cookie on Firefox. It doesn't work. I think the problem is whenever I go to the next page, Firefox create a new session, so the previous session is gone and the session attributes get lost. I printed the session ID in the log. On IE, the session ID stay same all the time, but on Firefox, the session ID changed when request being forwarded to the next page. Why is that?

I would download the LiveHTTPHeaders plugin for firefox.
With it, you can see all of the HTTP headers (including cookies) that are being passed between the browser and server.
