problem with sessions

[lisa.lipsky]

I've encountered a slight problem with sessions..

When my colleague runs his page on his PC, the sessions are working fine but when it comes to my PC, my session IDs are different which results in me not being able to retrieve the session attributes.

Any ideas why?

Different sessions do not share the same session atributes. Session attributes are stored in the .... session. So different sessions will have different session attributes.

I'm sorry I don't get you.

I have two jsp files and one of them is in a popup form.
What I'm trying to say is when these files are executed in machine A, the sessions work fine but when executed in machine B, the sessions do not work.

You'll need to be specific about what you mean by "the sessions do not work".

Let's see.

In abc.jsp, there's a link that calls xyz.jsp as a popup.

In xyz.jsp, there'll be
session.setAttribute("sesID", session.getId());

And in abc.jsp, there'll be
session.getAttribute("sesID", session.getId());

In my case, these two IDs are different while running on my PC otherwise they are
the same running on other PCs.

What I would like to know is the reason behind this scenario.

Thanks.

session.getAttribute("sesID", session.getId());

How come getAttribute taking two arguments?

Sorry, that was my typo.

It's session.getAttribute("sesID");
