Question : Losing session using IE7, tomcat & jsp

We have a web application that uses Tomcat and jsp pages. Everything works fine with Firefox and IE6. However, the session keeps getting lost with IE7. There is no one thing I can do to replicate the problem, it just seems to be happening randomly as the user is clicking through the site. I have been searching around and have not been able to find any definitive answers on what is going on. Anyone who can point me to a similar issue or resolution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Answer : Losing session using IE7, tomcat & jsp

There are many differences in default behavior with IE7 that might be causing what you're seeing.

In IE7, by default, you have to explicitly allow Javascript to run on every site.  That includes subdomains of the same site (a.site.com, b.site.com).  Losing a session generally means losing cookies, so if cookies are ever created or read with Javascript, that might be what you're seeing.

It has nothing to do with Tomcat or JSP, by the way, so you don't need to ask questions in those forums.  You might try adding the Web Development forum, since it gets a lot more experts looking at it than Internet Explorer Web Browser.
