Hi,

I have code which has to get the existing session from the request and use it but the behaviour of request.getSession() is strange and i couldn't understand.

I know that request.getSession() will return existing session if it is there otherwise creates new session and returns.

But in my case though there is a session in the request, request.getSession() is creating new session. But when i say request.getSession(false) it is returning existing session.


Can anybody explain why request.getSession() is not returning existing session.


Thanks in advance............
