Tomcat Session Tracking with Object Post and Repeated Applet Jar Download
843841Feb 8 2005 — edited Feb 8 2005Hi there,
I have an issue with session tracking in Tomcat (5.0.28) and the JRE repeatedly downloading the original Applet Jar.
Everything works fine (session tracking and HTTP GETs) until I post an Object from the Applet to a Servlet and the Servlet reads the Object.
After that happens the JRE downloads the Applet Jar about 20 times and continues to download it after further requests to the Servlet.
Not sure if the following is related but I'm parsing XML returned by the Servlet in the Applet and I get the following in the Tomcat logs:
127.0.0.1 - - [08/Feb/2005:08:43:12 +0000] "GET /[webapp_path]/servlet/META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory HTTP/1.1" 404 1142
If I turn off the session tracking in the Servlet it all works fine.
I'm using the standard HTTPSession tracking API.
Any help is much appreciated as this is a serious issue!
