HttpSession question

[Tuna Töre]

 HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
if(session.isNew())
{
System.out.println("session is new!!!");
}   

why the above code didn't print session is new when I call it every time ?
I observe that it print only one time ?

isn't it suppose to open a new session when I request it...

Thanks...

No, not on every request! getSession(true) will return the existing session if one exists, or a new session only if one does not already exist. Compare with getSession(false) which returns the existing session if one exists, or null if one does not already exist.

          HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
session.invalidate();

session = request.getSession(true);

if(session.isNew())
{
System.out.println("session is new!!!");
}    

okay then I changed my code like that and everytime it gave me a new session

Thank you for your response I got it ...
